Think man, think!

Brains are funny things. Especially when they slip on banana peels and fall on their arses. That's a metaphor. Brains don't really have arses. Brains invented metaphors though, and are required for their interpretation. Some brains take things way too literally and some brains lack the full understanding of the word literally and say things like "they were literally shoving it down our throats," which sounds rather painful unless you're using the word literally to mean something completely the opposite. But back to brains. Mine did a funny thing just now. See, last week, some of the furniture in our office space was rearranged. Some book cases were moved and a credenza with a TV was put where they used to be. Now, I knew this had been done. I was well aware that it was going to happen, and after it was done it looked as I expected it would. So I had made my brain fully aware of the changes. Yet just now, I went to get an envelope from one of the book cases, and sure enough, my brain led me to where they used to be. And now my brain can't figure out why I can't pack this CD into a 68cm television.
