You know... (Number 6,459 in a series of recent internal monologues)

...if you like to sing at work, that's fine, but I would ask that if you are going to sit right outside my office while you eat lunch, and continue to make noises that sound almost like singing except that they are completely monotonal with no recognizable tempo, that you think twice about it, because you are causing me to grind my teeth into nothingness as I am forced to sit here and listen to your flat, listless caterwauling.

And, if you simply must continue despite my dental discomfort, at least do me the pleasure of please picking something other to "sing" than hymns.

Sorry, didn't know you could hear me. I'll try for two tones tomorrow---I think maybe an A and Middle C.

I don't think it was you, Larry, unless you've suddenly become a deranged woman.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Deranged? Is that the state of the pot once it is removed from the stove?

I'm not sure--I always thought derange was where de deer and de antelope play.
