The other day, I was shopping and came upon a display of underwear just piled up on a table under a sign that read SLIGHTLY IRREGULAR.

It happens to the best of us: we have a job to do, we get ready to do it… in some cases, even starting it… and then we get a phone call. Or our favorite show comes on. Or someone knocks on the door.
