Post with no funny
I haven't been able to get a sentence out without coughing violently over the past several days. I feel like crap. And if that wasn't enough, the car repair place decided to kick me when I was down. They got me for $600. And then my dad was like, "hey, didn't that part get replaced on your car already? If so, it's covered under the warranty and you shouldn't have had to pay." I had no idea, because I understand cars like I understand women. If you tell me I need a new B-Pipe, I'll tell you, "No thanks, I don't smoke." But I checked the receipts, and the old guy was right. The car repair place should have only gotten me for around $250. So they'll be getting an angry, cough-filled call from me tomorrow.
The only other thing I've got for you is a quick story about the boy. He has two Tigger shirts he likes to wear. One has short sleeves, the other is sleeveless. The other day, I pulled out the sleeveless shirt, and he said, "No daddy, I want to wear the Tigger shirt with yes sleeves." It took me a minute to realize that he was saying that as opposed to the shirt that we say has "no sleeves."
That's all I've got. I'm going to go cough myself to sleep.

man, omar, i'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. i hope you get some good rest and are back to Yes Funny very soon.
i have to say, however, that you can always find someone to give you advice on dealing with cars, but understanding women? that's priceless.

and now i realize that the last part of my comment makes no sense whatsoever. perhaps i am still hung over from friday. or else what you've got is catching and my personal symptoms are the inability to read. my apologies.

Think how good it will feel when you get that "free" money - that's how I think about it when I've already written off the expense.

Maybe you can turn all that hacking coughing into a Godfather-esque wheeze and just scare the money right out of 'em.

I need a shirt with some yes sleeves. I seem to have a closet full of no clothes at the moment...as in, "no I don't fit."
Feel better soon!

I seem to remember awhile back (mostly because I wear my op.net suite every thursday) an op.net clothing line. I think it's time to introduce the toddler line of "Yes-Sleeve" T-Shirts.
I'll only take 1/4 credit for the idea, and 1/2 the proceeds. I'm jobless now, help a kid out.

Go ahead, tell me you don't smoke. I'll wait while you finish coughing.
(Don't blame me, you set it up)
I said:
No thanks RaJ, I don't smoke.
I did call them, and they are giving me almost $350 back. You'd think that I'd be happy, but considering how easy it was to convince them that they owed me money, I ended the conversation feeling like I must still be getting ripped off.
Also, fyi, I still feel like crap. (cough)

Maybe you should quit smoking.

Yes sleeves...it's like having no bananas, isn't it?

So they didn't put up a fight, very suspicious. I'll say "ripped off' definitely.
Sorry you still feel like crap and coughy. On the plus side, the boy is super cute :D

My son calls his sleeveless T's his Larry The Cable Guy shirts. He likes to point his fingers and say 'Git-R-Done!' Charming. I'm a sleeves snob. My mom keeps buying the sleeveless stuff and he knows I don't like them. Yeah, he tries to wear them every day.
It's your turn to cough, Omar. I suffered all last week with a cough AND a fever! I always feel the need to one-up you.
