Allocation of Time

Once a year, before I recycle all my old New Yorkers, I go through them with an x-acto blade. I clipped this little pie chart out of an advertisement, and cut out the labels.

It feels to me like a gag cartoon that needs finished. (A la Indexed.)

Fill in the blanks in the comments.

    Little: Foetus.

    Big: Not a foetus.

    I wish I we could be foetus’ one more time before we die. No pro-life argument here, but foetus’ have it *sweet*.

    In general, but especially the last few weeks:

    [] complaints
    [] blessings

    Can’t no man hold me down.

    I printed it out, wrote on it, filled in the blanks, scanned it, and posted it on my blog.

    Adding to previous remark …

    We can only see the segment. And then we say, “What is a circle?” There is no such thing as a circle. Show me a circle.

    Just waxing philosophic.
