K ration Puns

To protest the Unagi Ration.

Alliter o' rations.

I mean that's just not rational.

It wasn’t a very rational decision though.

But he is being rationed to one bowl a day right now and he already had his today. So when he asked me for more just now, I told him he couldn't because he's on cornantine.

Me: "Nice to meet you Rationing, I'm Hoarding"

I've been hardcore PMSing lately, so I made brownies. I messed up the recipe somehow so, rationally, I started crying because I really wanted homemade brownies.

He walks in, hugs me, and says babe, it's okay. You're ovary-acting.

I totally believe in parenting similar to Calvin's father. As such, when my 6 year old son came to me and asked me why his index finger was shorter than his middle, I rationally explained to him that it had to be shorter because he'd poke his brain when he picked his nose.

It's been 3 weeks and he still believes me. :D

The show had a section about pi. My wife said something about it didn't make sense.

I responded, "It is not supposed to be rational."

I am on the city council and we had a workshop about why utility rates are lower inside the city compared to outside.

It came down to this:

1. No study was done to show the validity of the difference.
2. It was strictly a policy decision with an arbitrary number.
3. The reason for this approach was simply that it is "standard in the industry" and because it is "what every other city does".

Prefacing that I was a dad so I had to say it: I suggested the rational wasn't the most sound since "just because every other city jumped off a bridge, it didn't mean I wasn't going to jump off a bridge."

Mixture of groans and laughter.
