Sit Right Back and You'll Hear a Tale (Kinda)

So I think we have a neighbor that wanted to be Noah but lost his nerve. For quite some time now I've noticed the inexplicable stock piling of wood they have going on..... it's in the front yard, in the back yard, in the garage, in the driveway.....no amount of fence building could ever explain the amount of wood this family has. And yet a few days ago a sign mysteriously appeared in their yard: Wood For Sale

And now I am left with a burning curiosity-- what on earth could Not-Quite-Noah have been building? And who talked him out of it? Now you might be thinking: Sarah, what if he just wanted to start a side business? What if he thought, Sarah, that selling random pieces of wood in highly unusable sizes and shapes would be a great way to supplement his income? I would say two things in response-- One, don't use my name more than once like that. It creeps me out. And two, if he wanted to start a wood farm, he shouldn't live in a subdivision.

I suppose I could pretend to be in deep need of a good piece of wood to do some whittling with and ask the man....but I think we all know how I feel about talking to people I don't know (unless it's over the phone and dealing with my computer, but that's another story for another day).

10 Reasons Why I Love Dorky Men

1. They crack themselves up even if no one else finds them funny.

2. I can say things like "He's about as lost as Frodo without Gandalf!" and not only will they know what I mean, but more importantly, they'll appreciate the analogy. (and let's be honest, they will likely take it another step or two)

3. They are almost always willing to play Trivial Pursuit with me.

4. They never ever go tanning.

5. They have never owned a pair of Oakleys.

6. They don't say things like "Good'ay Mate!" when I tell them I am going to Austria.

7. The highlight of their literary life isn't Sports Illustrated.

8. They don't use more hair products than I do.

9. Their hair just never quite looks right (see #8).

10. By nature of their own dorkiness, they can't take themselves too seriously.
