toilet paper

"Behind every damsel in distress is a fire-breathing dragon. Therefore...do not interfere in the affiars of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."

Sometimes I wish I had a dragon. I could have it roast or at least scare away people that got me angry or bothered me and I would also be able to finally feel what it's like to fly. But, alas, life is not like a fairy tale. I must defend myself and fly in planes, which really isn't so bad exept the food might possibly kill you. However, I would like to point out that chivalry is not dead. I have been helped out when I had attempted to carry too much, and I have had the door held for me countless times.

Some books that I read make me want to go back in time when there was adventure, exitement, and wonderful things. Princes saved damsels in distress and there were wonderful feasts. But, when put in perspective, everything wasn't wonderful in that time period. I mean, I am rather fond of toilets and toilet paper for that matter. I wouldn't like to have to be in a dress all day, especially when it gets hot, and I like having the use of technology...most of the time. So, if someone complains about today's lifestyle and would like to be back in "the good old days" when everything is wonderful, they will be sorely disappointed. Each year, decade, time period had their problems, just like ours. We are just more used to ours...and our may be a little less primative. So be thankful that we don't live in a drafty castle or slum and have toilet paper so we don't need to wipe with straw!
