We rewatched The 13th Warrior last night. It’s an uplifting movie about people of differing cultures working together, if you ask me.
This evening, watching the news, I hear a gal pitching something in a TV advertisement; she says it is perfect for “The Holidays.”
I hear, “Valhalladays.” Funny how our brains can be “primed” for the uptake and interpretation of new information. Sometimes, this is a great advantage; as Louis Pasteur is quoted to have said, “Chance favors the prepared mind.”
Other times it leads us astray or, at least, makes us chortle.
