Start using post appearances as wine-tasting events.

What do you do if, in a single hour, at least, according to clocks and timestamps, you feel remarkably aged but detect no improvement either in yourself nor in any of the wines in the cellar... even with much combined effort?

Zoooooooooby! Who else? He just made a fortune ($3.52 was it?)! ... if he hasn't spent it on laundry yet.

What do you do if, at the expense of Zooby's laundry, the bill is paid but the duck it belonged to suffocates and the RSPCA files a lawsuit against you, the initiating consumer of the sad affair, for... ooooooooh, say... a billion dollars?

It's funny you should ask that quetion, because once, when I was recovering from a jellyfish sting I sought to sue the manufacturers of jellyfish, here in the US, but it turned out that what they, in fact, produced was fish jelly not jellyfish, but I was confused due to it sometimes being referred to as jellied fish, rather than fish jelly. At any rate. Johnnie Cochrane took the case, but try as he might he couldn't create a good, catchy rhyme to apply to the situation ("If the jelly don't fish, you must return the dish!" didn't make a whole lot of sense to anyone.) so I lost, and now I'm hunting for the real manufacturers of jelly fish, which, it turns out, are other jelly fish. (Yes, jelly fish make more jelly fish.) I'm currently surfing the web searching for their attourneys.

Zooby,

I see from the quetion and answer thread that you are very smart. Could you please explain to me why, if you're so smart, you don't believe that aliens from the planet Sphincter 32 (Uranus) are abducing my wife and children and me on a regular basis? I have proof. I woke up once with a bruise on my leg. How can you refute such evidence? Also my wife is now pregnant and I haven't had sex with her in two years. Our last two children were born bald and with large heads, and also not very human colored, and with not one human tooth in their mouths, proving they were fathered by things not meant to eat human food. The oldest is 7 and she did finally grow human teeth but now they are falling out every month or so and a new one grows in just like a shark or something.

Signed,

Simple, I would reply...

With all due respect, I'm firefly, not Zooby, f-i-r-e-f-l-y. different spelling, see? In any case, allow me to suggest you submit your case to the Skepticism and Debunking forum here at PF. Someone there might be able to help. How nice for your daughter... she will appreciate having brand new teeth every month when she is 70 - if she lives that long. Also, this will save you bundles on health care - you might just want to go with the flow. If this is really troublesome, perhaps you could try to contact your a... oh, i mean Uranus in order to rectify the situation. Use Kundalini. Oh, wait, no, don't try any strange "posturing" - that might have actually got you into this situation to begin with.

Jump out of the car, quickly persuade the jellyfish to turn into "fishjelly", (thereby cleaning the motor for restart) restart your eingine and restart your trip to Your (ooooops) UrAnus and restart singing that ditty that you can't get out of your head!

What do you do if the ditty in your head is sooooooo stuck, you can no longer think of anything else, to the point that when you open your mouth, out come the lyrics, followed by your very sad imitation of the background vocalist, stress crackling in your, now strained, therefore 'falsetto', squeaky voice, hoarse from the strain, and causing you to expectorate gobs of blobs of sputum?

It's a question of misplaced negatives. For your part... you have the heart... not to tell them.

What do you do if you have heart, but realize you haven't the right perspective to break a silence?

After the dog has somewhat deflated outside, let him back in and cuddle up with the dog. just to be clear, i would draw the line at physical proximity with the dog in such a way as to reduce combined surface area and therefore minimize heat loss... applications: space heater - toe blanket - filler in of that niche in your back that chills up? don't really know about the wife thing... i don't have one of those either. (heh! funny thought, me with a wife!)

Use your dog voice (and flatulence) to round up the little 'porkers', and sell them off for Bacon, take that money, and go see a plastic surgeon to have your voice restored...

What do you do if, while having your voice restored at the plastic surgeons, they slip up, and it results in you having a voice that can only produce "Bird Chirping" sounds that make you sound just like the first Robin Of The Spring?

This could never happen, as the first Robin Of The Spring can be none other than our inimitable Mr. Parsons so any "Bird Chirping" sounds could at best approach a scanty approximation.

It's funny you should ask that quetion, because once when I was enjoying a demi-tasse of café laced with a measure of ƒireƒly's "Gastroluminescnt" Pure Molasses Rum™ at one of the out door tables at the Café du Lapin Dormant I noticed the little robins begging for bits of croissant and madeleines from the customers looked rather thirsty as well, so I ordered a shot glass of Parson's® Sparkling Aged Vodka for each and every one of them (30 or 40) and had the garçon set them down on the tile where they could reach them.
Once they'd finished, they began dancing in a merry fashion that amused all to no end. They were applauded. Some even stood.

If you can dodge your désespoir, you'll ask of her what you desire, but if you're acting sensibly, you'll ask her how she is, simply.
