C.: I’m bored. d.c. says that boredom is the sign of a small mind, but I disagree.
My mind is large, but there is nothing to do when traveling through space because the spaceship does all of the work. Hmm…What does this lever do? it's nice that I have opposable
thumbs in outer space
Oh, wow! I have a television that picks up Earth channels. There are at least ten football games on today, and I can watch as many as I want.
Hmm.. I’m still bored. I wonder what this lever is for? Oh, great, it’s a telephone that patches me directly in to Las Vegas so I can bet on today’s games.
I shouldn’t do it because I’m a gambling addict. I’ll just take a look at the lines on today’s games and see if I agree with them.
Well, I’m still bored, and gambling makes the games more fun. D.c. says that one should never gamble on anything s/he cannot control, but he’s not here. He would probably be contemplating the same thing that I’m thinking about doing if he was here with me…No, I can’t! I’m an addict and I might get carried away and bet all of my husband, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T was already Taken’s money. I’ll just place a pretend bet and see how that works out.
16 hours later
C.: Well, I beat the line on every game that I bet my imaginary bets on, so I’m pretty good at betting on football. I’ll just bet a few thousand dollars on tomorrow’s games. T will never miss the money if I win. If I lose, I’ll just say that it’s for space stuff. NO! I can’t unless….
d.: Well, that’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
