A menage-a-trois interrupted by a menage-a-quatre is a very nice Thursday afternoon.
A breakup is a way to give your partner room to explore life’s wonders without being tethered to a loser from Loserville.
A relapse is an opportunity to start all over again, again.
A paper cut is just a way to get someone whom you’re convinced is a vampire to suck your finger without getting all weird.
An arrest on a minor possessions charge is a way to meet law enforcement without going to a fundraiser.
A slap on the wrist is just a punch to the face that happens on your wrist.
A mystery illness is a new disease that wants to make you famous.
