Two Fatigue Jokes

I stayed up until 4:30 (that's AM) finishing a paper, and woke up at 9:30 to edit it. I used up all my energy going to classes, drank a gross protein juice drink before teaching French for two hours, and then came home to take a short nap before getting up to do some work and go to rehearsal. The work bit never happened, because my brain has such low functioning power at the moment.

On the bright side, I was tired enough today that EVERYTHING seemed funny. I even made up two jokes.

• One joke, you can tell people. I promise, it's not sophisticated at all.

Q: What do musical German chickens say?
A: Bach Bach Bach

It's not even funny. But when I made it up, it was hilarious.

• This one, you have to look at. And it's slightly more sophisticated, and funnier.

(And yes, I realize that it looks like I missed by a bit and made a secant... just ignore that.)

That, in case you were wondering, is what I was doing instead of working for the past hour. Well, not the entire hour-- I also checked my e-mail, ate some oatmeal (more about oatmeal when I post the big long post of random stuff) and played cards on my computer.

I told my sister your joke (the first one). She got it and chuckled. Then I showed her the second one. She chuckled again. I mean, you're right: it was her sarcastic I'm-laughing-because-it's-supposed-to-be-funny laugh, but she was mildly amused. I was too. ^_^

I hope the week has brought you more sleep and that your weekend isn't too concert-busy and very sleep-full (you have something this weekend, don't you? I remember you mentioning concert-full weekends at the end of March).

Sleep? Relax? ME?!?
It's not too bad. Just remove social life and I get by, barely.
