Practicality

Who is to say what is practical, right?

Is it impractical to put a watermarked image of a urine sample right on the side of this page for seemingly no reason? Who is to make that call?

Certainly not, I, because I did it, so clearly I have a biased opinion on the matter.

But could this, say, be taken to a higher court where a judge wearing a powdered wig and a robe would go from a constitutional law case to the case of whether or not it's practical to put a urine sample on a random page?

I'd like to see that. I mean, I'd really like to see that on television on some point.

Speaking on something unrelated, I have fond memories of going to get photos developed with my mother at this one One-Hour-Photo place in a shopping plaza. We would drop off the disposable camera, go shopping for an hour, maybe stop at the Burger King a few steps away, and come back and get our photos. I don't miss that necessarily, but it was a nice thought. Eh, digital photography is probably better.

On the subject of digital photography, digital photography of urine samples is perfectly reasonable. Or practical. I forgot what word I'm using.

Practicality is not a concrete concept, nor did anyone really say it was I suppose.

But in the plaza where we'd get the photos developed, there were two pizza places, oddly. One was really good and seemed authentic, and the other was a ratty one named after the town. I went to both, and the authentic one was clearly better. I never knew how the other one got any business. Probably lower prices.

And are these random comments about a plaza in the town I lived in until I was nine practical? Is that your call to make? I don't know, but I don't think so.

Practicality is what we make of it.

And that, Mr. President, is how I think you should approach the issue of abortion.
