Funny story. I had to go to the emergency room summer before last for that very reason, because blood was pouring from my forehead. Not only did I sit there for four hours before getting seven stitches in my forehead, but I also had to pay the $150 (well, worker's comp actually paid it) for the ambulance that took me across campus to the hospital! By the time I got in, it had stopped bleeding. Hell, I could have walked to the hospital faster.

Stupid corks.

Funny story. Happened last night.

Got a long distance phone call, but didn't recognize the area code. I answered the phone, and the guy asked for Mark de Jong (which happens to be my father's name). I told him that Mark had gone curling for the evening and asked if I could take a message for him. He proceeded to ask me if this was the house of Mark de Jong, the saxophonist. I said, no, this Mark de Jong is a physicist. He told me he was calling from Los Angeles, and that apparantly, someone gave him the wrong info. SO I gave him the right telephone number, and he was rather surprised. We get so many phone calls for the OTHER Mark de Jong, that we have his home phone number posted beside our phone so we can give it out in situations like this.

This was the first time, though, that it had happened to me.

I laughed, and so did the guy from LA.
