My Girlfriend Came Back With a Lovely Surprise

OFF TOPIC

So, for months I've slaved away at the desk working hard. I've recently got over Testicle Cancer, and during the time I had chemotherapy I still sat at my desk and worked as best I could.

She's just came back with a 15" MacBook Pro! She said it was a present for me for everything I've been through.

Sorry, I had to share my joy! I can now lie in bed again at night and work in comfort as opposed to sleeping at 3am in my office chair.

Overjoyed isn't the word!

  Hey Raydal!
  
  That would have been a bit awkward ha ha.
  
  Long time no see bud, I still have all those classic copywriting books you recommended to me 2 years ago. Still not finished them, but getting there.
  
  Hope you're ok mate.
  
  Thanks

Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

  My God, Riffle! I was thinking the same thing, at first.
  
  But unlike you...I'm going to take the high road.:rolleyes:
  
  Sirr; Your girlfriend sounds like a treasure. Ignore the mindless rantings of Riffle.
  
  (Idea; New Thread "Rantings of Riffle")
  
  Sur; We all apologize for Dan Riffle. Riffle says uncouth things, and spends the day blowing bubbles in his oatmeal. I know. I've watched him do it.
  
  Bad Riffle...Bad!
  
  Thanks

  Heck yeah, you watched. You paid me to do it.
  
  I thought it was odd, but five bucks is five bucks.

  Dan; Honestly, I thought you were going to say "I blew bubbles in oatmeal, because Claude paid me to watch. By the way Claude, Bubbles says Hi"
  
  And if you were thinking of saying that..I would say "Bad Riffle! This is not the place for such language. We are talking about a man's testicles here. Keep it clean. Preferably with oatmeal"
  
  Sirr; Please excuse Riffle for not keeping up. He and Bubbles have been having problems lately. One of them, I think, stems from too much oatmeal.
  
  Yes...Churlish oatmeal.
  
  On a serious note. Good to hear about the recovery. And your girlfriend got you one heck of a gift. Keep this one. (meaning this girlfriend)
  
  Riffle would say something nice, but he can't talk with a mouth full of oatmeal. At least I think he said "Oatmeal". It's so garbled.
  
  Thanks

  I considered something of the sort, but felt it was too cliche. I leave those for you.

Apart that amazing gift, there were no surprises here. Just the usual crude and savage exchanges between the usual suspects.

Where do I send the bill to Claude Whiteacre and Dan Riffle to pay for a new keyboard? I'll have to tack on lost coffee to the price.

  I opted not to have a prosthetic. I think it would have felt even more strange with a fake one. Everything is still in perfect working order
