Thor

Now that things have settled down, it is time to take better care of myself. My doctor wants me to take my blood pressure every morning, rather when I first get up. So I grab the blood pressure thinge wrap it around my arm and giant hairy spider comes crawling out, heading up. Of course there is a (manly) scream. The blood pressure do-hickey falls off my desk, bounces of my foot; results in my standing straight up shoving my chair into a stack of neatly organized boxes; which went a-l-l-l over the place. Okay now I'm angry!

Thor comes around the corner with a lit torch just as I hear the sound of air brakes being set on the local fire truck. I grab Thor, the torch, and fling both through the front window. I head for the window to do my Rambo version of "Bring it!" I get there in time to see the fire truck peeling out. The best part was seeing a fireman hanging on for his life to the fire hose being dragged behind the truck.

So back to the blood pressure task. I check for any other living things in the cuff and wrap it around my arm, as my doctor showed me. BP is acceptable, my pulse is off the scale. Guess I need to calm down. I let Thor in and get my day started.
