L4L-1 The event of my birth coincided with a meteorological event involving the movement of air at a velocity greater than 120.7 kph.  
I exerted audible sounds akin to those of a wild canine towards my female parental unit during an extreme period of precipitation.  
This situation has remedied itself and is no longer a problem, and genuinely is a fluid that has neither independent shape nor volume but tends to expand indefinitely.

**Kat04:** That is clearly not physical labor, and as such is an optimal way to proceed: you perform songs on a stringed instrument and air it on a cable network assigned for that purpose. Again, that non-physical labor is an ideal way to do things, as you receive pecuniary compensation for idleness, and women find you attractive at no expense to you.
