He growled, “Well, friend - whatcha gonna do about that?” Well..I just burst into tears. I said, “My friend, today has been, by far, the worst day of my life. I was two minutes late to a meeting, and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, my car was gone - stolen - and I don’t have any insurance. Then, I left my wallet in the cab I took home. When I got home, I found my wife in bed with my Joe, my best friend… and to top it off, my dog bit me as I stormed out. So I came here to get the courage to end it all. I bought a drink… I dropped the poison in it… I sat here watching it dissolve… and then you walked in and drank the lot!” “But hey, anyway… enough about me. How’s your day going?”
