Congrats on the new body parts. Do you have to be patted down at airports? My FauxKnee has me shuttled off to the glass cage until a female agent in latex gloves can make sure I don't have a knife strapped to it.

Congrats on the new body parts. Do you have to be patted down at airports? My FauxKnee has me shuttled off to the glass cage until a female agent in latex gloves can make sure I don’t have a knife strapped to it.

It was Xmas eve, and we had just been informed that my brother's (& his future wife's) best friend Bill, had tragically been killed in a car accident, at the young age of 25.My elder sister had also dated Bill for a short time & while no longer close, they had seamlessly transitioned into a casual friendship.I knew him only slightly, but had always thought that he was a nice guy, & was naturally saddened by such a senseless turn of events.Needless to say, I felt badly for my siblings, & my brother's girlfriend, because it was obviously a difficult time for them. My father,(who ironically considered himself to be something of a diplomat) ,instead of uttering even one word of condolence,took great umbrage at this turn of events & declared; "I will not allow the spectre of that long nosed ghost to ruin MY Xmas!"(He always did have a way with words).He was actually enraged that we were not smiling & ho, ho, ho-ing enough, or actually not at all, & therefore definitely not enriching HIS Xmas festivities. The thing that always astounded me, was that he was not a stupid man;he just did not possess even one single ounce of empathy for another living soul.This is only one example of my not so dearly departed Dad's extreme insensitivity for another living soul. I too could fill a book with many,many more such tarnished little gems , uh lumps of coal, but it is just too painful dredging up these negative memories to that extent. I haven't yet read any of your work, but your books are now at the top of my to - read list.I first saw you on Letterman several years ago, & I was instantly taken by your wry wit & obvious talent.Best regards, & good luck in your future endeavours !

He and I were planning an expensive, once in a life time trip that he was going to pay for. He was over the top excited with his arrangements and he wanted me to read the emails between him and the travel agent. However, in the middle of the 10 emails was a chat exchange between a woman and him that was definitely seductive bedroom conversation which had been going on for some time. He offered to take her shopping, buy her sexy lingerie, and have her dress sexy just for him. I confronted him on line, having hit "reply all". He responded, "I don't see anything wrong with talking to women on line. I talk to women all over the country all the time." Then he said, "What about when I waited for you to come home from your dates with xxx?" I was stunned. He was referring to something from 7 years ago and I wasn't even dating him then. So then I find out that he is married to a long suffering woman. He told me that he said to her and their grown children, "I am not married, just your mother is married." which he said in front of his grown children. DELETE button works wonderfully.
