My sister's Big!Boss once called the office from a cab in NYC and told them to hold his plane, a commercial flight leaving from JFK, because he was running late.

Of course, he also once called to say he was cold and what should he do. The person who answered suggested he put on his coat. With a guy like that, after a certain point all you can do is laugh.

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

I'd start by telling him to rub some stick together to make a fire. Or else kill a saber-tooth tiger and wear its pelt. I mean, you'd want to gradually bring him into modern times, because things like thermostats and clothing made from woven fabric might be too advanced for him at first.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I always think I don't want to be a Big Boss, but then I remember the opportunity to call someone and ask them what I should do about being cold. That sounds amazing.

Of course, this also works if you're a child.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Whenever I get worried about the 2 new bosses coming in duirng the next month, I keep reminding myself that I'm eligible to retire in 5 years, 6 months, and 27 days. I don't know whether I'll be able to or not, but I hope it'll be nice to know that I could.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm a little chilly right now in shirt sleeves in my north facing bedroom. I have a hoodie within arm's reach, and there's a fire going in the other room. What should I do?
