In order to change the lightbulb in the bathroom in my den, I of course had to remove the globe.
Peering in side, I noticed a small, heat bleached carcass of something that looked a lot like a small seahorse. I started to prod it with my finger, and immediately 4 successive thoughts ran through my head:
1. It's amazing that this is the first time I've had to change this bulb, and we've owned the house 2.5 years. Wonder what it's made of?
2. I'm 20 feet underground: what the hell is a seahorse doing in my bulb globe.
3. You know, a lot of horror movies start out this way, with a guy far removed from anyone touching something he probably shouldn't have and unleashing the fury of hell
4. I bet if I just screw this globe back on with a new bulb in the socket, the demons won't even know I found their little succubus, especially since I DIDN'T touch it after all.
So my point? Have you ever caught yourself doing something in real life that you've admonished some moron on screen for doing just before he/she got his/her clock cleaned?
