I'm thinking of "Excuse me, would you please reach that for me?"

Make note of all good wishes
And say goodbye to the landlord for me
That son of a bitch has always bored me
Throw out them LA papers
And that mouldy box of vanilla wafers
Adios to all this concrete
Gonna get me some dirt road back street
If I can just get off of this LA freeway
Without gettin killed or caught
I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke
To some land I ain't bought, bought, bought
LA Freeway Guy Clark
Pretty much!

(645 posts)because my cousin once said we weren't useless, maybe our purpose in life was to serve as bad examples.
Although lately I've been liking the moniker Childless Cat Lady.
