On the
program house whiteboard each day our group tries to write a different “Inanity
of the Day”. As you could probably tell from what we call them, most of them
are fairly stupid and childish. A couple examples include:
- You usually have 10 toes, but if you cut one off it would bleed and hurt a lot and then you’d only have 9.
- There is no i in teamwork, but if you read it backwards you get “Krow Meat”.
- Life is like writing in pen – you usually can’t do it in space.
- Barking up the wrong tree: when the nut you want ain’t the nut you get.
- पूप (the Hindi transliteration of “poop”)
o This one particularly showed how we are all still 5 years old at heart.
- What is the meaning of mankind? First we have to break it up into its components – mank and ind. What do those two words mean? No one knows and that’s why mankind is a mystery.

Even though the inanities are pretty, well, inane, they do
bring our group much joy. There’s nothing like a particularly stupid joke to
start the day off right and sometimes they’re just the perfect pick-me-up when
you wake up on the wrong side of the bed (how many clichés can I fit into one
sentence?).
