Kamikaze.... Who?



I was really busy at work today… Keep that in mind throughout this blog post

After making a ton of phone calls at work to clients who did not answer, I was pretty much just flat out tired and bored, which is so not like me… on most days, anyway

So I did what I knew I had to do:

I googled “Top 100 funny quotes” just to wake myself up and get a hint of the me that had walked into the office with a cheery smile and a good ole’ cup of Joe aka Life Source glued to my hand.

(And to all those who don’t know this about me: Google is to me what a compass is to a sailor: Imperatively Absolutely Undoubtedly NECESSARY)
Like panting for my next breathe, I pulled up Internet Explorer and said to myself: Laughter, that’s what I need right about now…

So I read a few quotes, before bursting into good laughter in intervals.

Anyway, I came across one that made me laugh… And since it is common of me to disclose embarrassing information about myself. Here goes: I had absolutely no idea what the quote was talking about.

“The only mystery in life is why the kamikaze pilots wore helmets.”

(I laughed then thought, “Wait, why not?”)

So, I googled once more. Thank you, google.

As it turns out, these were pilots who were in my own words… Terrorist Pilots. It’s like saying a terrorist was to visit the hospital to get all his necessary vaccinations… a day before blowing himself up. Wouldn’t want to leave this earth unvaccinated, you know.

Enough sarcasm for today. So these pilots decided to put on their handy dandy helmets before willingly crashing into enemy aircrafts.

This quote really got me thinking about all those things we do and really shouldn’t. Like locking the door every morning on your way out to work, when you know the electronic door knob is broken. Like holding a grudge when you know you’ve made the same exact mistake once or twice yourself. Like buttering the bake sheet where you will place your already-heavily buttered biscuits.

Just unnecessary and plain dumb... Let's save us some much needed time today, dear friends... :) 

Until next time...
