Something to make you smile!

There's a really interesting discussion started by burnmybridges to get people's reactions to CoE one year on over on Torchwod House:
http://community.livejournal.com/torch_wood/6153534.html


The discussion been very civil thus far.  I was reading all the comments (and made a few myself) when I began to feel sad about all the people who have left the TW fandom here since the airing of CoE. Regardless of the reason, some of my favorite writers have moved on to other fandoms or have left completely. I still enjoy the works being posted and while my muse is slowing down, I will finish my WIP and hopefully find a way to keep writing.

But just when I was feeling very low, a silly email from my BFF appeared (she's psychic, I swear).  So I thought I'd share it with all of you. Hopefully these will make you smile, if not groan

Puns for the Educated Mind:

1. The roundest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.

2. I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.

3. She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still.

4. A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption.

5. No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.

6. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.

7. A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blown-a-part.

8. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.

9. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.

11. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

12. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: 'You stay here; I'll go on a head.'

13. I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.

14. A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab centre said: 'Keep off the Grass.'

15. The short fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large.

16. The man who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran.

17. A backward poet writes inverse.

18. In a democracy it's your vote that counts. In feudalism it's your count that votes.

19. When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion.

20. If you jumped off the bridge in Paris, you'd be in Seine.

I Love The Google, Torchwood Edition!

So after a shitty day at work (massive sinus headache) and being depressed after thinking about CoE, I decided to work on the next chapter of my WIP. Its been giving me a bit of a hard time especially thinking of a chapter title.

For those of you who haven't been reading my WIP, I start each chapter with a title and quote that relates to the content of the chapter (I am so never doing that again).  Lots of times I know the quote I want to use (like the Churchill quote I used for the last chapter titled Victory), but sometimes I have to look up quotes under various key words to find something that works.

So I've finished a draft of the chapter and was trying to think of a title/quote combination. I thought of perhaps using the title of Debriefing. Don't know any quotes for that word so I googled 'quotes about debriefing'.

First thing that came up was the site: www.definitions.net. Ok, so I look on the page and I find a section called Images of Debriefing.

And here's one of the pictures under the heading:
