My ability to procrastinate astonishes even me, which takes some doing. Let it be known that standing on one leg is a sin. Also whistling.
And on TV, hypnotism and the "aggravated lethargy" induced by both. There are other ways, of course, of inducing aggravated lethargy, which the article does not mention.
Not that it matters, does it? One of us isn't communicating in the office, and it's probably me. Witness:
Colleague: ...there's an appeal from someone who wants to know why her mother didn't get X. Her mother passed away before we gave X out.
Me: Er, because she's dead?
Colleague: So I think we should talk to Y and coordinate our response on this and explain why the mother didn't qualify for X.
Me: That's not because she's not alive and no longer needs anything from the world of the living?
