friends ever since our families grew up

but like all friendships ours would be

tested by something unexpected something

known as don't work what about sending

your kid to work while you stay home and

take a nap game you know you realize

they're announcing a promotion today

nothing like a little humiliating

rejection to teach the offspring about

the real world

I hope they announce my name so I can

turn them down that's right

hey Dad do they have lunch at work you

kidding it's the best part of the day

it's the only reason I go oh right the

widget XR 200 the finest widget in the

Western world without this puppy in the

world my chest got revolt Dan how do you

know when it's quitting time well when

your feet feel like them but stapled to

those fancy upper-class beverages it's

funny mrs. Grunwald keeps asking me

about Aspen and Vail I tell her aspirins

for headaches and veils for funerals

it's all my fault

I told on the wall that we were a family

of expert skiers and go skiing every

winter because he had an expired jug of

milk in the night sniffer lunchbox
