Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Chances that they would actually call are pretty slim. Chicago's rental market is not like the East Coast cities where they can pick and choose.

This. They are probably just asking to see if you'll provide it without question (i.e., implying there's no problem).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I've been surprised at the number of "deals" in the craiglist listings - like no security deposit, half-month rent free and whatnot.

Weird, I just answered a trivia question during an office baby shower about the age of the oldest mother to give birth. And now she's dead.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

They are also looking at your overall history--if you moved every two months, for example, that's a red flag.

Oh good - I've been at this last place about 8 years.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was just watching an episode of Science's top 100 discoveries, and they mentioned the guy who discovered sperm. For the first time I am led to wonder about how that little discovery came about. Like, was he using his own spunk?

Quick, answer a trivia question about Dick Cheney or Rush Limbaugh.
