so...randomness for the night...

This joke is courtesy of my boss:

So two astronauts, a blonde american and a blonde russian, are arguing over whose (this correction provided to you by Hayley the grammar nazi) space program is better. The Russian says "Well...we were the first in space" and the American comes back with "Well...we were the first ones on the moon" The Russian lists off all their space stations...while the American points out all the global satellites. So this argument goes on for hours...and then finally the blonde american says "well...we are going to be the first ones to land on the sun!!!" And the Russian goes, "you idiot...you'll burn up!" And the blonde american says "Well DUH!! We'll go at NIGHT!!!"

And...a joke from my bestest friend in the world Dianna:

So a brunette, a red head, and a blonde all decide to stow away on a ship. So they sneak down to the hold and hide in some crates. The sailors decide they want to check out the hold before they sail off to make sure there are no stow aways aboard. So the sailor kicks the first crate the brunette is in. The brunette says "meow, meow". He thinks "oh...it's just a cat." So he sailor moves to the next crate and kicks it where the red head is and she says "woof, woof". So he just says "ah...it's just a dog" So he goes to the next crate where the blonde is hiding and he kicks it. At first he doesn't hear anything...and then all of a sudden from inside the box he hears "potato, potato, potato."

So...on a little bit more of a serious note...i have come to a realization about relationships. So...the question of the evening is...what defines a relationship? I've often been told that you can't have a relationship unless you are physically near. Without the physical side...there is no relationship. However...i would have to disagree with that. With my friend Jackie...we are even closer now than we were in college. But i haven't seen her since august. And i won't see her again until august. But every friday night...i know that i can call her...and we'll talk for 3 hours and drink a beer...and for three hours...it will feel like she is sitting next to me. That's what a real relationship is. A real relationship is feeling close to someone when you aren't close at all. Real relationships are very difficult to maintain...and that's why people often lose touch when they move away. But i don't think the real relationship begins until you've spent some time apart.
