Mike called me to his office and he didn’t sound happy at all. Actually he sounded gay, but then again he always sounds like that. Especially when he’s having sex with men.
“What’s up Mike?” I asked the quiet office. Mike sat behind his big mahogany desk sound asleep. Seeing as how my entrance failed to wake him up, I proceeded to find better uses for the pencils sitting on his desk.
He woke up 15 minutes later. By that time, I had found out that you can fit approximately 4 No. 2 pencils in his left nostril and about two and a half erasers on his right. As usual, he spent half an hour screaming at me while checking his nostrils in the mirror.

I’ve searched for any form of statistic that will inform me what kind of people bought the DVD. Either it could be parents who loved the show as kids and are hoping their kids will enjoy it just as they did; or it’s the kids themselves who are getting to know, and are starting to love the show. While the latter is the more ideal of the two possibilities, it’ll less likely to be the case.
