My wife is very sick today, and this commercial makes her smile. You can smile too if you like, but it’s really not about you, it’s about her. 🙂

2 Kinds of People

by

There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those to love Monty Python humor, and those that despise it. I am in the former, with both feet.
