Last year at a Christmas drink, I was asked what my role in life was. I insisted that it was keeping my bed warm. It was not an acceptable answer in their mental multi-choice questionnaire.

I hope that you are Fulfilling your Manifest Destiny by keeping your bed warm. I, a lower class of person, depend on the degenerate if not debauching assistance of an electric blanket.
