Yesterday I had lunch with an old friend from my former company (the one that canned me). We went to World Wraps (this becomes relevant in a few sentences). I was sitting there eating, and I heard him say, "How's your rat?" I was truly touched, thinking he was referring to 'Tein-um's recent health troubles, so I went, "Oh he's doing great, just slowing down a bit blahblah." I gave him the whole low-down of 'Tein-um's eating habits, med schedule, etc. Then I stopped and he looked at me sorta funny. I was like, "Oh, I see, you just wanted me to do the polite thing and say, 'Fine!'"
"No. I asked, 'How's your WRAP?'"
