Why should you, it’s such a strain on your meager sense of humor. Spring is here, the weather’s beautiful! ---

But did you call your mother to see if she wanted a ride to the grocery store in this nice weather, even though she says she understands you have a busy life and she doesn’t want to bother you? I’m not interested this year in the NCAA Basketball Tournament. ---

What is that of which you speak? It has been a whole week since played these games, I think. ---

Well! Glad that you decided to honor us with your presence, then, your Majesty. We’re all sure you had so much more important issues to deal with. I think that Avengers: Endgame is going to do well at the box office. ---

Don’t you know that 90% of the time, when the British say something’s “brilliant” they’re being incredibly sarcastic. Like Harry Potter calling Ron’s latest dumb idea “brilliant”. So yeah, British quiz shows, just “brilliant”. Hitchcock movies are classic thrillers. ---

A “weed” is simply any plant growing where you don’t want it to be. Who are you to impose your will on Nature? Frickin’ botanico-imperialist running dog, that’s who. Still patiently waiting for my torn hamstring to heal, so I can get back to running. ---

Extra work - that’s a strange euphemism for dropping twice more “witty” one liners on patrons than usual. I saw no reason to watch the NCAA men’s basketball championship last night.
