Fawlty Showers

Drop the Puppy, Lose the Emu

Later that night I opened my laptop.  The software that sorted my messages sent my test results to the spam filter, along with an electronic summons to testify, and a contract for my new employer.

I got a little distracted by the messages the software sent to the ‘urgent’ file.

 A state representative wanted my vote. The attached picture of his opponent kicking a child while stealing his puppy may have been photoshopped.

An insurance company asked if I was happy with my coverage.  I didn’t answer their survey, but I suggested they lose the emu ads. They weren’t funny when they started in 2019. They were six years more annoying in 2025.

I blocked further messages from the cat psychic.

“I can’t blame you” I said to my laptop, “for not knowing what’s important.  I know.” I sent a heart emoji to my wife. I invited an old friend to meet me for lunch.  I started working on my yearly training to benefit Operation Troop Appreciation, a service organization dedicated to making life easier for active duty personnel.

Today I will focus on what’s truly important.
