I think she is attractive too. I just thought making a comment like that can be upsetting, about as upsetting as a suicide threat as an April Fools Day joke.

You won't believe this, but I didn't even realize it was April 1 when I wrote that post. I just was not going to let the opportunity pass to be the first one to make a "guy killing himself by locking himself in the garage with an electric car" joke.

So, I guess, I was the fool all along. :(

Paul, it is not nice to joke about people's wives being ugly. We all get older.

We all get older, Khan.

It was never true happiness, it was a trick!

I speak of true, imperturbable happiness, which is not dependent on external circumstances, and can never be threatened.

Wait, so after losing 30lbs, I'm just destined for misery?

Shit. Time to go pound all that easter candy.

Yes, but take heart, you'll die someday!
