Dear Lottery, I demand a recount. It’s clear your machines are corrupt; everyone knows I won; it was clearly stolen from me.

Oh, you like bad boys? Well, sometimes I cite articles I’ve only skimmed.

Waiter: “Anything to drink mam?” 4yo: “My mom needs a fucking margarita.” … So, yeah, they’re always listening.

2. To me, “drink responsibly” means don’t spill it.

3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.

4. It’s the start of a brand new day, and I’m off like a herd of turtles.

5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late.

6. When I say, “The other day,” I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.

7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.

8. I had my patience tested. I’m negative.

9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn’t fit any of your containers.

10. If you’re sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, “Did you bring the money?”
