DID YOU KNOW THAT THE HIGHEST PAID STATE EMPLOYEE IN 39 STATES IS EITHER A FOOTBALL OR A BASKETBALL COACH?
AND WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE DOES THAT SEND?
THAT BASEBALL COACHES ARE GETTING SCREWED.
I MEANT, AS IN WHAT WE'RE TEACHING OUR KIDS.

I HEAR YOU WENT TO THE DODGERS-GIANTS GAME. WHAT WAS THE SCORE?
GIANTS WON 4-2.
HOW CAN THEY WIN?
I SAID THE GIANTS HAD ONE MORE RUN THAN THE DODGERS, SO-
AND RIGHT, THE DODGERS, TOO?
THAT MAKES NO SENSE! DID YOU AT LEAST HAPPEN TO SEE HOW MANY RUNS THE GIANTS SCORED IN THEIR FOUR?
FOR MY BET, I HAVE BIG MONEY ON THIS.
THEN I HOPE THAT'S THE NUMBER I NEEDED. BE RIGHT BACK.
I JUST TOLD YOU. I WILL BE FINED. ASK MY GERMAN FRIEND, HANS.
FINE. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY RUNS THE DODGERS SCORED?
NEIN!
YOU JUST SCORED ME $100.
I SAID IT'S FOUR-SOMETHING.
DUDE, JUST GIMME THE RIGHT DODGERS GIANTS SCORE AND - UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAD FOOD AT THE GAME.
ATE NOTHING.
WHY DID HE GIVE ME NOTHING?
MEEEE.
AHHHHHHHHH!!!
I WAS TOO UPSET THE DODGERS HAD WON.

LOOK AT THAT BIRD SITTING ON THE AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER.
YEAH, THAT'S BENNY THE FLIGHTLESS ROBIN.
WHY'S HE JUST SITTING THERE?
HE'S HOPING THAT ONE DAY THE SPRINKLER WILL TURN ON AND POP HIM UP INTO THE AIR, GIVING HIM THE ILLUSION OF FLIGHT.
THAT. AND IT'S CHEAPER THAN A BIDET.
THAT'S BOTH SAD AND REVOLTING.
A LITTLE PRIVACY, PLEASE.

The council of aliens met at alien headquarters.
We are an advanced race but that poor race of humans is not. They are sad, silly, and stupid.
So the council of aliens passed a resolution.
We will save the human race from itself.
And so, using all of their advanced technology, the aliens constructed their gift to humanity.
And fired it in a rocket to earth.
And thus, I was born.
AND THAT'S CHAPTER ONE OF MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
BURN CHAPTER TWO.
DON'T MOCK OUR GIFT!!
