I once told my wife I was going out to buy an envelope:

“Oh",  she said, "well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go  online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?"

And  so I pretended not to hear her. And went out to get an envelope because  I have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.

I  meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire  engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what  kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is -  we're here on Earth to **** around.

And, of course,  the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't  realise, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we  love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all  anymore.

Let's all get up and move around a bit right now... or at least dance.
