Things that I have been thinking about.

1. I wonder if bulters have a union. I mean, I think they should so that they can earn a fair wages and receive benefits and the like, but I've never heard of a Union of American Butlers, or American Buters United, or United Butlers American. Maybe it exists though. I don't feel like googling it, plus if I did and it existed, I'd have to erase everything I've written. Anyway, my point is that butlers should have a union. Though, now that I think about it, maids and nannies don't have unions either. The hospitality industry is completely ununionized. I don't know if the hospitality industry refers to careers like butlering, but whatever.

2. I was eating a banana, which is rich in potassium (which strikes me as kind of a kicking word, like sassy, which I guess is due to the fact that the two words share three of the same letters but then again, so does bass). Anyway, I got potassium confused with calcium and I thought, "if calcium helps you grow bones, and if you eat a lot of it, would you grow extra bones?" And then I was thinking about where those bones would go. My first thought was that you'd probably get extra bones in your butt, because there's space there. But then I was like, you should get extra ribs because then your heart (stomach?) would be super protected and instead of having bonespacebone, it would bonebonebone, so you'd essentially have a cylinder of bone encircling your body. Then if you get shot, you'd pretty much have to get shot in the same spot two times in a row for the bullet to get to your heart. Unless bullets can go through bone, in which case, you'd probably still die.

Also, I was thinking about Boutros Boutros-Ghali today and it totally made me smile. I wish I could talk to that guy. I mean, I kind of want to be Freeman's mentee, but if I could be Boutros' mentee, that would be pretty awesome.
