i find humor in other peoples' conscientiousness

i'm all for saving the earth and shit. but i don't take it too far.

when al gore's movie (which i refuse to watch) came out, a guy cornered me and a group of friends at a party and decided to talk about how amazing the "film" was and how much it really meant.

my response was, "ohhh, right. didn't aerosmith do that soundtrack?"

he was baffled.

here is a new thing that has me all confused and weirded out. i am starting to see this at the bottom of emails:

P Please consider the environment before printing thiss e-mail



i just find it very, very funny that someone would take the time to add it to an email. it might be worse than adding a quote from your favorite philosopher or writer. okay, maybe not that bad.

but the other funny thing is that the email i got was about how the person would be "OOTO" (out of the office for you non-cool work people) tomorrow. it was really tough. i was going to print. but that message saved a tree.

so i guess my point is: i don't need to be conscientious about the earth if people are already doing it for me.
