the daily humorscopes for wednesday, february 8

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Try to work the words “happenstance” and “ineffable” into your conversation today. It turns out that most people believe any sentence that has the word “ineffable” in it. Such as that one.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You will meet a tough challenge in a very resourceful way, today, using only a Swiss Army Knife, a transistor radio, and oven cleaner.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Everyone who drives by today will stick their head out their car window, give you a big dopey look, and flop their tongue around in the wind. If you had known this was “act like a dog” day, you might have been better prepared.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Beware the Ides of March. Also, if you have a friend named “Brutus”, it might behoove you to be a trifle more selective…

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

What you are about to do is wrong. Of course, you will only find that out much later. For now, enjoy yourself!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Not a good time to go forth and conquer. Try going fifth, and hover in the background.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Try to avoid nibbling on things today. Despite recent developments, you don’t actually know your friend that well yet.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You will get a notion to become a street food-vendor, and will make yourself a food serving cart for the “Bulghur Baron”. You will sell pint containers of hot bulghur wheat, cooked with sauteed onions, garlic, and other vegetables. To everyone’s amazement, you’ll succeed fabulously, eventually making millions off the franchise rights alone.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)

It was a simple mistake, which anyone could have made. What’s more, now you know better. I think, though, that the expression is too widespread for you to actually get it changed to “never look a gift horse in either end”.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

You are being stalked by an invisible mutant from Planet 7. Or at least, you’ll find that this makes an excellent excuse for not doing those outside chores today.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Someone will ask “How are you?” for the millionth time. You should celebrate the occasion by having a speech prepared – something embarassingly intimate is usually best. “Glad you asked, Bob. I’m having a darned tough time getting rid of these pesky genital warts, for one thing…”
