ding dong
who's that ringing the doorbell at 1 a.m.! that is correct, last night the door bell sounded and then continued to hum with an infernal buzz, incesantly.
i knew no one rang the bell, as we have been having trouble with the button lately. so last night, in the middle of the night, i went downstairs, opened the front door to try and unstick the button. it did not help. it was only after standing out the front of my house, with the light on, for about a minute, i realized i was naked. what a sight the neighbors must have had.
i went back upstairs, put on my sarong, and returned to the scene with a screw driver, in order to disconnect the wiring of the buzzer. in the process of fixing the problem, the humming buzzing noise grew louder, and the bell sounded off and on erratically at least 50 times. in the quiet stillness of the night, it must have alerted the entire neighborhood to the fact that someone was at our front door. it was me!
before this event occurred, i was having difficulty falling asleep. ironically enough i had just began to doze off when the bell sounded. after i finished removing the button from the wire, turned off the lights, and returned to bed, i tossed and turned for another hour trying to get back to sleep. at least i had a giggle about the whole incident. it is even funnier the day after, but i am tired.

That's hularious. Do you really think your neighboors were up at that hour peering out the window to see a naked b sorting out the doorbell?
oh how frustrating! i think you should replace the damn thing with a big cow bell. but hee! too funny that you didn't even REALIZE you were naked! and probably had the light on so you could see what you were doing! i bet your neighbours like you even more now! hee hee!
ding dong the witch is dead... the wicked witch is dead...
