"I think being a woman is like being Irish." — Iris Murdoch

I'm visiting my old friend.  Everyone in her family is well over six feet high: her, husband, and son.  I just took a shower and have never seen a higher shower head.  Even standing on tip toe with my arm straight up, I couldn't reach it.  It was like being in the rain forest.

Oh! I almost forgot!  When I got to my friend's house, her husband said, "What's that buzzing noise?  Hey, your suitcase is buzzing!"

"No way," I said.  "There's nothing in there that could buzz."  I started digging, wondering whether somebody had slipped something into my luggage.  It rather sounded like a pager.

It turned out to be my electric toothbrush, and the thing was pretty hot, which means it was buzzing a long time.
