…unless you’re hungry, then you need food. And when you’re thirsty, water works wonders. And when you’re being audited by the IRS, a good tax lawyer works quite well. And if you’re bleeding from a bullet wound, a hospital fits the bill. What’s that, you say…? Your car won’t start…? I’d call a mechanic. You’re sad and torn apart because your favorite celebrity couple just broke up…? I’d say you need a life, preferably one that sees you going to the library and reading a few books every week instead of the rags in the checkout lane at the grocer.

You don’t want me raining on your parade by saying that stripper glitter is toxic for the environment and that fracking contaminates ground water and that crypto-mining and video gaming use up too much fossil fuel energy. I’m boring, I know…
