Cake or Death?**

I'm telling you, it was straight out of Sophie's Choice! I was walking into the law library en route to one of my classes, held inside the law library. I was holding my laptop computer in one hand and a Pepsi in the other hand. As I was struggling to open the door to the law library, I felt my laptop computer shift in my hand and teeter precariously. At that same moment, I could feel the Pepsi slipping out of my grasp.

I had a choice. I could save the $1500 laptop that I worked my ass off for and lose the $1 Pepsi... or I could take my chances with the computer and save the Pepsi that I desperately needed this morning to save myself from a caffeine-deprived coma, as I did NOT have another dollar in my pocket.

Luckily, I regained my grip on all items. Good thing, too. It would have been a tough decision.


**Total snaps to anyone who can tell me where that reference came from, with the exceptions of Brian and Danielle, since they introduced me to the source of the humor.

And this is why I love the computer insurance I bought. I have never been good at not breaking electronics. :)

Glad you didn't loose the soda!

So when I'm carrying around pop* I always put the screw cap back on between each drink. And always get the plastic bottles.
And carry the laptop in a case/container/satchel that has room for the pop along with. C'mon girl, isn't life already full of enough stress? ;)

*pop: Soft drink where I live.

Hmmm . . . cake please.
What happens when you run out of cake? . . . is it just 'or death' then?

Nice tini tiny comment on the bottom, BLS. ; )
Perhaps I should mention there is a difference between 'weirdo transvestite and executive transvestite'. :)

*DING DING DING DING*

AA is the winner! It was, in fact, Eddie Izzard. :)

I knew you knew, Brian and Danielle. That's why you were excluded from the contest. :)

Angel food cake please. And your dilemma sounds like the old Pepsi campaign with Michael J. Fox. Remember that one?
