Aha! Now you want to trick me into saying thunder the way you tried to trick me into saying hurricane. I won't do it. Never mind that we had a thunderstorm here 2 days ago. Never mind that a thunderstorm once fried my graphics card. Nevermind that a thunderstorm once fried the control board of my garage dooor opener. I won't say thunderstorm.

Q: Why do Essex girls keep smiling during a thunderstorm?
A: They think they're being photographed!

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice,
"Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?"
The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug.
"I can't dear," she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy's room."
A long silence was broken at last by his shaking little voice:
"The big sissy."
