Today I plugged in the headphones into my computer and started streaming the radio. I had a list a mile long of things I needed to do at work and I was in the zone. And then my co-worker Lee walked up to me and asked me what I was listening to. He was kind of smirking...which isn't all that unusual for him...but still. There was an air about him.
I pulled out my earbud but could still hear my music...it was kind of loud, too loud. And then I realized, I had not completely plugged in my headphones all the way. Everyone could hear my music.
Thank heavens I wasn't listening to something embarrassing, like Dr. Laura.
...
The other day, I got a phone call from one of the safety guys at work letting me know that a publicly owned vehicle had been involved in an accident on the freeway.
"What's a publicly owned vehicle?" I asked him, because in my mind a publicly owned vehicle was...ah, it doesn't matter. I was way out in La La Land on this one.
"Um," he said, sounding confused. "A publicly owned vehicle is a car that is...um...owned by someone of the motoring public."
Oh.
And then he laughed. For a while.

You make me smile.
PS I wouldn't have known what the heck he was talking about with the vehicle thing either.
