Friday humor (OT): deadlines -- was Re: Too old?

["jan cohen" <najnehoc -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Too old?  That's what I keep wondering about myself 8^).

On a different note, deadlines came up in a discussion I was having with 
someone earlier today, and for whatever reasons, I started wondering about 
how many ways the word "deadline" might be defined.  Here's a few from my 
list:

a thin filament of nylon line with a baited, attached hook, used to catch 
fish, that's been placed in a natural body of water for an extended period 
of time without a nibble.  Sometimes occurs after not meeting a deliverable 
date at work by the end of the week.

a line of once living creatures, no longer living.

a line of customers and their shopping carts waiting to be checked out at 
the cash register counter at a supermarket.

the lines under one's eyes when waking up in the morning after a late night 
date with Tom Waits and a bottle of Jack.

an attempted telephone connection that seems to go nowhere.

a telephone connection that did go somewhere but, because of a less than 
favorable response, was prematurely terminated.

Anyone got any others?
