Don't Worry, Be Happy

b"I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather papa chair in my living room, trying to calm down after talking with an individual who's birth I suspect, may have been caused by a secret government project gone hideously askew. He is the editor of the new book I'm trying to finish, and he is what you might call a natural source of methane. He is now objecting to the title of my book...which is Staying Happy Healthy and Hot. \\n\\tI like that title, because it expresses the Louie Louie Generation's outlook on life. Staying happy helps to keep you healthy, and when you're healthy, your hormones hum heroically. My attitude is that it's my book, so I'll decide on what the title should be. He tells me I have an attitude problem. I told him I don't have an attitude problem. If he has a problem with my attitude, it is not my problem. He claims he even understands internet publishing. I point out to him that the Internet claims that hot naked women want to befriend me, and therefore I distrust everything I read there. Our relationship is approaching a meltdown. Except that a meltdown sounds like fun. Something like a kind of warm cheese sandwich."
