Conversations With Homer

Homer: I read your blog.

Me: I’m glad someone does.

Homer: Why the fascination with Cousin Oliver?

Me: I don’t know. We watched him before it went in repeats. How’s 40 treating you?

Homer turned 40 on Monday.

Homer: It’s fine.

Me: John Edwards endorsed Barack Obama.

Homer: Yeah. Folks are talking about it.

Me: Yup.

Homer: But it seems those folks on your blog would rather talk about Cousin Oliver.

Me: Yeah.

Homer: How I see it is if Cousin Oliver is the harbinger of death for Bryant Gumbel and The Brady Bunch, maybe he should endorse John McCain and then a democrat will get into office.

Me: (wheels turning) You have a point.

Homer: You gain wisdom at 40. I have become instantly wiser.

Me: (rolling my eyes) Yeah.

    For years I considered hiring myself out as an industrial saboteur.

    Imagine the careers I could end……
