You slay me c. June 26, 2009

I'm at a job with two other people and we are presented with the challenge of slaying a dragon in order to obtain its hair. The dragon's hair is worth millions of dollars.

We're hiding in the woods when we hear the dragon's roar. Danger is imminent. Our boss, J**, promises to save us from being killed by the dragon if we join his team and promise to give him the profits from any dragon hair we might find. I find a hiding place and figure I'm pretty safe without his help, but at the last minute I give into the fear and join his team.

The next day I find out that he spent an exorbitant amount (think Jurassic Park) staging a scene with a fake dragon in order to scare us and get us to join his team. Since a real dragon was recently spotted in the area, he did risk the chance that we would find the real dragon hair without him and keep the money for ourselves.

I feel pretty foolish as I realize he has no better means of protecting us from the real dragon than we had on our own, and now we have no chance of profiting from any dragon hair we find. Apparently, the other two people and I were recruited because we are the best dragon hair hunters in the world. I'm impressed that J** spent so much to trick us into joining his team, but I wonder why I don't leave.

Getting dressed in corsets, hoop skirts, garters. At one point, I realize that women have seven breasts, one for each day of the week... three on one side, four on the other. I question the bra, with its symmetrical two cup design.

Trying to open a day spa and juice bar. The employees nearly drown on a daily basis because the elevator shaft is filled with water. To ride the elevator, you must hold your breath for eleven floors. I haven't planned the menu well, nor have I purchased drinking straws or insurance.
