look out! a porpoise!

we're all moving to finland to become porpoise spotters. this is a good opportunity, people. they have teeny computers everywhere over there, and they're far too small and polite to invade other countries.

This even becomes weirder when you consider the code "does he like dolphins or porpoises?" when stealthily asking if someone is gay or straight. (Sraight=dolphins, gay=porpoises)

OH! maybe that's it! i've long suspected the EU of being homophobic. no wonder none of the finnish people want the job.

I thought it said tortoise at first, and I was very excited.
But I could spot Porpoises too.

Is that the correct plural?

it is, in fact, the correct plural.

and i'm sure that the EU will eventually require tortoise spotters as well. start practicing now, and you'll be ready by the time they're in demand. i recommend lining tortoises up along the sidewalk near your house, standing on the roof, pointing at them and yelling "tortoise!" repeat until people start to notice.

I am so up for doing nothing all day.
Hope I don't get seasick or anything.

Hey, Saara, I want to send Haven some flowers there at the office. What's the address? What do I tell the delivery people? Obviously, don't tell Haven. Thanks.

260 E. Highland Ave., 3rd Floor.

just tell them it's ECE, and give them that address, and they'll bring the flowers to margarit, the nice lady at the door and she'll bring them to haven.

awe. you big sweetie.
