While The Sphinx was closed, I was in the great state of Alaska. The only thing about that--for our purposes here--that's important are a few of the bizarrities that I encountered there (coined a word, there). This has nothing to do with the state of Alaska, mind you, but are still pretty entertaining:

I'm not a scientist, but I think this level of humidity means you are far underwater. |

At one point, I found myself in a single-engine plane made in the 1950's. As if I wasn't worried enough, this card was on the wall of the plane. It really IS true what they say about putting your head between your legs and kissing your [preferred anatomical term] goodbye....as if you aren't going to be dead ENOUGH anyway, they want to be sure. |

At one point, this, um, person was right outside my hotel window. Let's take inventory: dress shoes, dress socks, running shorts, T-shirt rolled up above the belly, and...rubber gloves? Wait, what are the rubber gloves for? Nevermind, I don't want to know... |
