Sometimes you feel a little
cranky without any particular cause:
you want to kick the cat for having
whiskers or yell at someone for
breathing too loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know it\u2019s not reasonable
but who cares: its
like the whole world is chewing
with an open mouth, making
squeaky sounds on the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
blackboard and just won\u2019t stop.
In such a case, it\u2019s good to have an outlet
for your petulance, something
you can do alone so you don\u2019t
alienate everyone else, like
chopping wood<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or digging a grave.
Personally, I find that
there\u2019s nothing like the presence of
death to get me in a better mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
