"Where were we? You're such a lovely audience! Honestly, I'd like to take you home with me. Okay, so the ass is walking ahead of me, she's in front and I'm in back, I have no clue what she wants from me, what all that babbling about a funeral was, and I've never even been to a funeral, haven't had the opportunity, I come from a small family, as you know, we've covered that, mom and dad and kid, and we never had funerals, there weren't any relatives left to die—it was just him and her. Wait, that reminds me of something. Since we're on the topic of relatives, I read in the paper this week that scientists discovered that the closest creature to human beings, genetically, is some kind of blind worm that's totally primitive. I swear! This worm and us, we're like this! But I'm starting to think we might be the black sheep of the family, because, otherwise, explain to me why they never invite us to their parties?"
