I believe that I was a dog in a past life. That's the only thing that would explain why I like to snack on Purina Dog Chow.

After once having made the mistake of watching television news, I had worried for a while about an asteroid hitting the earth and wiping out human civilization. The anchorwoman had said it was not merely possible but probable. At the end of the report, she smiled.
