first a philosophical question. have you ever noticed when you re driving that anyone who is driving slower than you is an idiot? and anyone driving faster than you is a maniac! you see a million things a day in your life and they all go on the back burner of your six burner wolf ridiculously priced mind. a comedian comes out and brings it to the front burner. i don t like other people s showers, there s always a problem with temperature adjustment, there s always a hair stuck on the wall. you want to get rid of it, but you don t wan to touch it. i don t know how it got up that high in the first place. real life is funny because reality is relatable. period. that s it. and if people are at home watching something relatable, that will make them laugh because they re like, oh, that happened to me, too. remember as kids when you go on vacation and you go why is dad always in a bad mood? now i understand. no. no. is this grandma? yeah, she s still alive. why i
