Since I'm on a Cliff Milton jag...

...here's one for the record books. This was before school.


Cliff: "Last night I thought of a great invention."

Me, internal: I know this is going to be good. I must encourage this.

Cliff: "You know how teachers are always carrying those gay bags for their laptops?"

I sigh.

Cliff: "You know, those gay bags?"

Me: "I disagree with the word choice but yes I know what bags you are talking about."

Cliff: "Well instead how about a briefcase that has a little pouch for their laptops and their chargers."

Me: "That's a good idea, Cliff." I say this sincerely and don't point out that these already exist.

Cliff: "Yeah, you'd look real professional with one of those. You could go to Hamsterdam!"

Me, in concealed hysterics: "Hamsterdam?"

Cliff: "Yeah, Hamsterdam. Or Rome. I always wanted to go to Rome. But I heard the people there were real nasty, so maybe not."


Wind him up, let him go.
