Enig med meg

Jeg tror livet ville ha vaert lettere, sa hun, om bare jeg selv kunne bli enig med meg om noe

English Major

When I told him I had a major in English, he said, too bad for you this is America & he started me out at the bottom.

Egg Coffee

He told me the best way to make coffee was to add an egg, so I did & he looked at the strands floating in his cup & decided to have tea instead.

Easy Option

I’m not that good at live & let live, she told me, when it’s just as easy to avoid & then I don’t even have to think about it.

Easy Going

I get along better with my relatives, he said, now that most of them are dead. (Big rocks so they won’t be able to get out early)

Duty

My great uncle shot & killed his own brother for disturbing the peace & I wonder if anyone ever tried to quiet his deep deep sorrow. Duty isn’t consolation enough.
