I once watched an episode of the show "Cops" and in the beginning, the cop that they were following said something that stuck with me. He said, "People think that cops are robots, but we're not." and I immediately responded to the television, "uh, no," because I respond to television shows.
This is a list of things my body automatically does when I see a cop while driving. These things may or may not be what others do but I do them.
- I glance at the speedometer, even though I don't see how many miles per hour I am going.
- I ease on the brakes regardless of how fast I'm going. Even if I'm going way under the speed limit.
- I think of every single driving law I've broken from the time I left the house to that moment.
- I start and finish a quick-prayer.
When I watch "Jeopardy," I try to answer the questions and everytime, I feel one of three things.
- Smart, because I answer correctly.
- Stupid, because I don't know the answer.
- and A Nincompoop of Elephantine Proportions, because I answer it incorrectly.
I used to watch a grip of Korean comedies and I would laugh like crazy a lot. Then on one of the talk shows, they talked about something. That person posted a mirror next to the television and they watched a comedy show. Then while in the midst of laughter, she glanced at herself all alone, watching the television alone, and laughing alone. Then she felt pretty sad and I thought that was the funniest thing I've ever heard and so while I was laughing at her, I ran to the restroom to see myself laughing and I realized how true it was. As I was laughing and looking at myself in the mirror, my smile slowly went away and I was standing there looking at myself in the mirror in an awkward silence. Then I went back annoyed at myself and watched the rest of the show. I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself as I was sitting there alone, watching alone, and laughing alone. ye.
