I found this on a site that I'll be posting as my Link of the Week on Monday for Xanga, but this nugget I thought was particularly dead on:
Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

How Smart Is Your Foot?
Try this, it’s fun. And also aggravating. Apparently, it’s from an orthopedic surgeon. This will confuse your mind and you’ll keep trying, I did, over and over again to see if you can do it.
—While sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
—Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction no matter what.
Like I said: aggravating.

Why I Should Be President
It's true. I have legitimate reasoning as to why I should be president, and if not president, at minimum a renowned Senator.
Everyone's aware of the new "Cash for Clunkers" precedent from the government, right? Trade in your old vehicle and get up to $4,500 dollars toward the purchase of new car. Great idea right? I mean, you could tow something up to the dealership and still manage to get $3,000 dollars out of it. Man, our congressional system really nailed it this time....
...oh wait, I thought up that exact idea in OCTOBER. October! As soon as Ford and GM began their collective bankruptcy and the government decided to give them billions upon billions of our tax dollars to them, I said to my parents (in a lengthy discussion, no less) "This is what they should do, they should give every American home about a $4,000 dollar credit to go purchase a new car. However, they have to trade in an older car that has high emission rates. This will enable a lot of newer, more fuel efficent cars to get on the road and the old ones, continuing to pollute the ozone--off the road." I went on to say that with this $4,000 dollar credit, the Big Three would be able to "bail" themselves out per se, and would still promote business and a product to boost the US economy.
So suffice it to say, I came up with the same freakin' idea 10 months before our entire government and 500-600 of our country's most productive and forward thinking minds. Oh wait! Their plan does have something mine didn't, maybe that's what took them ten additional months to come up with: A witty slogan in "Cash for Clunkers."
