This and That

I had a mondegreen moment last night. I was in a lobby where the muzak was blaring and I thought I heard the singer chorusing "make your cellphone happy" and I went "WTF" as I pictured bunches of unhappy cellphones that had to be cheered up! I had to listen carefully until I heard the correct lyric (at least I think it was the correct one) which went "make yourself unhappy" (the phrase was preceeded by don't of course). I've had a number of mondegreens moments over the years but I think this was the funniest.

My MSN Quote of the Day is: "Nothing gives a fearful man more courage than another's fear." - Umberto Eco. Is this why torturers torture and Dubya attacked Iraq? Because they are fearful and insecure inside?
