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!!

I'M LOVING THIS BOOK ON THE BRITISH MONARCHY. THIS CHAPTER'S ON THE KINGS AND QUEENS THAT WERE TUDORS.

HEY, STACI. I KNOW WE'VE HAD OUR TOUGH TIMES, BUT WHEN YOU FIRST MET ME, DID YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU'D WON THE LOTTERY?
