I _tried_ to order the Phoenix, but the idiot on the phone thought I was trying to get a meal for nothing, so I finally gave up. (c’mon now, take it phonetically…) ---

::grabs a wine bottle and gulps straight from it:: Ok LOOK! No no! Wait a second! Let’s take a look at the volume to weight ratio of your average horse in comparison to, say, a wooden pig… now if the Greeks were gonna build a wooden animal to hide soldiers in, wouldn’t an aardvark or maybe a bunny be a better shape? I swear, couldn’t they have just left chocolates or something? And the thing smells like a giant fart too… whooo. We’ll have to burn it, I suppose. ---

I was coming to pick it up, but this damn banshee was washing her laundry in my sink, and there was blood everywhere, and by the time I cleaned it all up, I was just _dead_ tired . . . (Bada-boom! Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week, try the phoenix, it’s great!) ---
