Mostly whimsy and drivel of no consequence. And CHEESE.
Anyone win the lottery recently? I just thought I would offer my services (it’s certainly within my skill set) as someone who can help you get rid of all that pesky extra money. It wouldn’t be any trouble at all.
These are the kinds of things I do for my friends.
NOTE: People at the bank, when they ask if they can “do anything else for you” are not usually amused by my lottery humor. Maybe they just don’t understand its cleverness.

You know, I really like that idea. Although, with med school and a baby on the horizon, maybe you could split it with us?

I’ll certainly think about it. But if I ever get enough dough I need a really big bathtub, you know, and they don’t come cheap. It’s my “heart’s desire,” as Leif would say – my one extremely shallow, frivolous wish. Other than that, it’s all WORLD PEACE, baby.
On an arbitrarily different matter, I wonder where the expression “baby on the way” originated? From whence is the baby supposed to come? Does that mean, as Charles asserts, that you have a hamster in utero right now and that later the baby will take a red-eye flight from Cleveland and switch places when you’re not looking?
Wait! You said that YOUR baby was on the horizon. So you KNOW where it is. Is it on the way from the horizon?

You know, that’s REALLY funny. As I was reading your post, I thought to myself, “Who the hell says baby on the horizon?” Then I reread my own post, and lo and behold…
So I knew Charles thought it was a hamster, but I hadn’t heard the theory about the baby flying in from Cleveland. I don’t know if that’s a good idea, it costs $50 to have a child that is flying alone to be supervised by a flight attendant. But on the other hand, if $50 means no labor, no hospital bills, I’m all for it.
