Cried laughing. Actual crying. (And wheezing, as it were, because I have an 18-month-old in daycare and never don’t have a cold.) Read it out loud to my wife and couldn’t see for the tears.

I was identically dismayed about “help!” when I got in between my dogs fighting several years back and one of their collars came off. It’s effective, though, as it turns out, as my always-shirtless, always-outside, late-forties next door neighbor leapt over the fence between our yards and sprayed us all with a hose. My hand was bitten and broken, but I was otherwise fine. Perhaps I would have healed faster if I had a swimming hole to get back to.

You are SO funny. Thanks for writing these.
