Many cups of java and thanks to my pal Mike Pascale for “zombifying” this art.
(I can’t remember which of us came up with the gag. Often it’s a joint effort.)

“… we saw quite a bit of each other…”
Yeah, that can happen when you’re both naked all the time. Come to think of it, the neighbors saw quite a bit of you two as well… so did the t.v. repairman, the mail carrier, the construction workers down the road, the meter reader, the guy from the game and parks commission and just about everyone down at city hall, who, incidentally, wish you two would just keep it at home!
Ha! Very nicely done, PKM!
Caffeine… The low end of the speed spectrum.
Chewing raw coca leaves. Coca leaf tea. Now you’re energized.
This reminds me of a statement made by Fred Sanford. “I like women like I like my coffee. Hot, sweet, and without cream.”
(may not be an exact quote from the Sanford and Son show)
Airplane quote, “Would you like creme? No, Thank You, I like it black……like my men.”
Those who don’t believe the dead can rise have never seen my office at quitting time.
