Ba-Dump Bump!

OK, class, today we're going to try something new. With any luck, it should keep you occupied until Monday. By then, I'll have something original written (maybe.)

For example:

If I were to say...

The first commenter would probably reply...

Because it's so damned hard to get the cows to squat over those little cartons.

And then he or she would add something like...

Now, don't feel that you have to be bound by tradition. If someone asks...

Because he saw an ostrich on the other side, and he had always been a leg man.

Or you could make up your very own highly original retort.

I suppose that's enough explanation. Let's begin, shall we?

So, I went to the psychiatrist the other day. He told me I was crazy. I said I wanted a second opinion. He said...
