I thought I was done roasting coffee for the day, but then an order for another 25 pounds came in so

UPS tracking: Departure Scan
Me: Yeah!
UPS tracking 5 minutes later: Arrival Scan at the same place.
Me: So you loaded the box onto a truck, drove it around the block, and brought it back to the same place?

The recent shipment of sloth mugs is almost sold out. Only 1 sloth mug left. Will reorder if possible.

Saw fine print in a watch advertisement advising potential buyers to not operate the watch between 9PM and 3AM (if you do, the watch will break). This seems like a strange and oddly specific failure mode for a timepiece.

Dinner should probably have been for 2-3 people, but I don't know how to make it smaller and the cat doesn't go for human food so I'm just going to have to eat it.

I've just noticed that the keys on this keyboard that display both the shifted and unshifted characters have the shifted characters below the unshifted ones.

Today I impressed a grocery checker by knowing how much the item that didn't scan cost.

What if all of the Star Trek made after Enterprise is also just a Riker holo-novel?
