Hurry up & wait
a patient SUIT column by Chris Jungle

Obama says he wants troops out of Afghanistan by 2014. Just three or four more years, America!

Folks say the first year of marriage is the hardest. Only five months to go for my wife and I.

It's Thanksgiving week, everybody. Five more weeks until Christmas!

My alma mater is going to win one football game this season. Just wait 'til next year!

The economy is having sluggish recovery. Experts say one or two more years.

Your call is important to us. Please stay on the line.

Construction up ahead. Expect delays.

If social security remains solvent, I should start getting retirement checks in thirty to thirty-five years.

Professional basketball and hockey seasons have begun. Only six months before they start their real seasons.

Less than five months before baseball starts again.

People are already wanting winter to be over, and I don't have the heart to tell them it hasn't begun yet.

Two and a half months before the cab business picks up again. Do what I can.

The previous play is under review.

Full body scans have been installed at the airport. Protests are planned. Please assume you will miss your flight this holiday season. The terrorists have already won.

I told a guy last night I had a two-year old daughter. He said she'll be driving before I know it. Yep, in the blink of an eye (but really thirteen more years).

No one actually works at the post office anymore, but we're all still lining up.

The next big thing is just around the corner. Maybe.

Death comes to the archbishop & the salesman & you. Just wait and see.


Chris Jungle is the guy behind you in line.
