When you were trapped by an avalanche, I dug you out. When your parents were eaten by cannibals, I held your hand and told you that it's okay and that being eaten by cannibals isn't so bad. Remember?
Β Β  And then your check bounced, forcing me to move to Michigan and then your water broke on the ferry boat and the baby fell over-board and had to be rescued by college students. Remember?
Β Β  Last year β€œthe baby,” who had fallen overboard into the unforgiving waters of Lake Michigan, was sworn in as president of Puerto Rico. You were so proud, just standing there with a hundred thousand Puerto Ricans. Remember?
