the last one, i was cleaning my fish tank and it starts swayin - i thought my dog was jumping against it. then it's like, ohhh, we're quakin, then you ride it.
earthquakes are reminders, for those of us whom own our properties. we don't really own them.

One of my co-workers was sitting in the drive-through at Mickey D's when the thing hit. He said he was about to get out of his car and punch the guy in the car behind him, because he thought the guy had just rearended him. Then, he realized what was going on.
