Passion
by Steve West on February 24, 2012

Recent conversation with Brenda:
me: I've been thinking about our love life lately.
Brenda: Have you been drinking?
me: I think the best comparison would be to the cockroach.
Brenda: Seriously, have you been drinking?
me: My passion for you is mostly active at night, it frightens the elderly, and it is completely impervious to nuclear weapons.
Brenda: My mom warned me about you.

Oprah Is Immortal
I was talking to Brenda about weight recently - about how hers is creeping up and mine is creeping down.
