hope you get your groove back


a phone conversation with my brother last night >


Katrocket: So how are the renovations coming along?

Mattrocket: Well, not good. I'm sorta laid up at the moment.

Katrocket: Why? What happened?

Mattrocket: I was hauling a stack of ceramic tiles off the truck, and I lost my grip and dropped it on my foot. I think I broke a couple of toes. They've gone black.

Katrocket: Uh oh. You know what that means...

Mattrocket: No. What?

Katrocket: They'll never go back.

Hahahaha!

I have nothing witty to say in response, but damn that made me laugh!

Pffft! That's definitely a keeper! Reminds me of the best thing I ever said, during a discussion on home improvement:

Future Father-In-Law: ...And for that we'll probably have to use the reciprocating saw.
Future Mrs Imaginary Reviewer: I hate the reciprocating saw!
Me: It probably feels the same way.

From the blank stares I got, I think my comment went way above everyone's heads.

But does he like big butts and cannot lie?

Tony enjoys how you used your bros crippling accident to make a funny. Come give me sugar, honey.

This is when my atheist stance is most tested, because what other reason, the existence of a Ghawd, can explain that kind of a set up?

TIR, yours was just as funny, but on a different level, although Kat's sexual level can do no wrong.

Kat's had a certain existential inevitability, while yours just came brilliantly out of fuckin' left field.

I am left standing here, weeping, as I lament not being able to impregnate either one of you. Or as Kurt Vonnegut would say, "...so it goes..."

I wish my sibling or siblings would have appropriately witty responses when I injure myself, since that's all I've got to offer them.

Classic! Also Skyler's Dad's comment is great too.

Does it match his bag?

I think I love you.

Thanks for the morning laugh! The rest of the toes are thinking... "there goes the neighborhood."

The value of his big toe just dropped significantly.
