Man, maybe I really _am_ crazy! Well, hopefully my wife will find her folks sooner rather than later… Yeah, but does she wear your dresses? Oh, wait, I forgot that you gave most of them away. Hope you find your in-laws, Klinger. ---

Does anyone know if he actually did find his in-laws? I seem to have blocked any recollection of watching AfterM_A_S\*H from my mind. Another one (I can’t seem to stop myself): I lost my parents while we were at this strange amusement park/spa/resort place…so I ended up working there for a few days until I could find them again. (It turns out that they were pigging out at one of the food stalls.) ---

My roommate is a party girl (read slut) She got knocked up for the third time, only this time she wants to have the bay. But when the bayb arrives, she wants nothing to do with it, so I take it, and I give it lots of love. Meanwhile, my dad’s boss has proposed to me.

> [@RobuSensei](#): > > Correct! And, welcome! Now that you’re here, feel free to toss one of your own into the ring… Don’t mind if I do. I got life in prison for trying to resuscitate an old man (while buglarizing his house). My brother got me out after I agreed to become a government test subject. Now the Department of Fish and Game has me on their payroll, but I’m only staying to keep my sanity. ---

(any5) No matter what I do, no matter how good at my job, I can’t get ahead. And now I have a stuck up, conniving witch for a boss, who’s so full of herself, she thinks it’s okay to claim my ideas as her own. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > are there any open ones? Mine is still open. I’ll add another clue. Clue 1) I’m just a simple bus driver, with a fondness for banana’s. Everyone is so nice to me – or they’re trying to kill me… Clue 2) I like to play the party game “The Minister’s Cabinet”, but I’m not sure of the rules… Clue 3) My actor won an Oscar, but not for this role. ---
