Osler's Razor

My intern
by: oslerguy

Last week's haiku Friday brought out some great entries-- of course, I just got around to them today, since on Friday I was giving my talk at Baylor (that's me in the video above, with The Intern, and my original plan).

Though there are many strong entries, I felt that this one, by S, was most compelling:

Anticipation!
(bead of sweat) Choices!
Great, horrid choices!

I love it not just because it is true of road food, but almost everything else worthwhile.

Forthwith, her bio:

S was raised on a small farm in a rural part of South Dakota (that is, Sioux Falls). After successfully completing college, she attended Limbaugh University, which is America's Most Conservative and Accurate School of Anything, according to their brochure (capitalization in the original). After college, she took a number of jobs, including each of the following:

- Laundress to Mr. and Mrs. Thurston Howell III
- Copy Editor for Cat Fancy magazine
- Shrubberer to the Clampett family of Beverly Hills
- Femme de Croissants to both Alec and James Baldwin
- Lt. Col., United States Army
- Actress (credits include Dawn of the Dead, Speedbump (1997 version), Explodar IV (starring Rink Allegro), and several Van Halen, Nickelback, and Yanni videos)
- Assistant embalmer
- Homicide detective, Las Vegas PD
- Reporter for BBC World Service (Dayton Bureau)

Tired of constant tumult in her work, she finally came to law school at St. Thomas, where she now writes a "Celebrity Corner" column for the school paper, the "Grobbler." Congratulations, S!
