    "Hey Dorothy, where's Toto?"

    Yes, somebody in a car actually yelled this as I rode past her through downtown Worcester this evening! Kind of funny (would have been even more so if I had thought a few seconds sooner to say "he fell out!") but at the same time, can't people mind their own business? It was an interesting ride in general, with that comment and more idiot motorists than I usually seem to encounter. Just thought some of you might find it amusing...

    I once road by a Renaissance fair being held in a local park when one gentleman in full costume played a nice rendition of “Bicycle built for Two” on his ocarina for me. I wasn’t on a tandem but I thought it was sweet none the less.

    "What? Timmy's in the well?" or some variation...

    What kills me is that these people seem to think they're really original and hilarious.

    I have a last name that's easy to joke about so anytime someone makes the same old tired joke I respond with a completely deadpan "wow, I haven't heard that one before."
