| Then there are some things you don't want to hear. |
| Some thing you just flat don't want to hear.
|
| You don't want to come home from work and hear, "Honey, remember how we told the children
|
| never to play on the railroad tracks." You don't want to be sitting in your doctors office and hear
|
| this. |
| "Well Jim, there's no reason why you shouldn't live another twenty to thirty years. However,
|
| you will be bleeding constantly from both eyes." Here's something I don't want to hear. "I'm
|
| pregnant, your the father and I'm going to kill all three of us!" "Calm down, have some dip."
|
| "Honey, it's the police. They have a search warrant, and the three hundred kilos of cocaine are
|
| still sitting out in the living room." Here's something nobody wants to hear. Nobody wants to
|
| hear this. |
| Try to think back to when this was appropriate to your life.
|
| You and your fianc have been invited to your mom and dad's house for dinner for the first time.
|
| Half way through dinner, your fianc stands up and says, "I'll be right back, I gotta take a dump."
|
| There seems to be no really genteel way of announcing publicly a dump. |
| And frankly, I'm not
|
| impressed with people who tell me what they're going to do when they go to the bathroom in
|
| the first place. |
| Doesn't that bother you? |
| People who announce it. |
| "I'll be right back, I'm going to
|
| take a shit!" "Nevermind! |
| Do what you have to do and leave me out of it. |
| And don't describe it
|
| when you come back." "Boy, you should have seen..." "Nevermind!" "It set off the smoke alarm."
|
| "Nevermind!" |
