This has got to stop. I am learning more things I never knew. My head is going to explode with new knowledge. I never knew Gulliver's Travels was anything but a children's book. If I have time between PB&T sandwiches with bourbon chasers I will re-read this wonderful book. Maybe I will be able to find an annotated copy that explains which aspects of English society he is ridiculing. I am fully vaccinated and in constant communication with Bill Gates. I tried to switch over to Mrs. gates but he said she was not receiving any calls from Friends of Bill. (originally Bill Clinton - but whatever.)

Attached please find a copy of the invoice from my chiropractor for the injury suffered when I fell off my chair with laughter at the picture of Trump's library and museum. You must truly be a user of magic mushrooms.

I gotta go. One of my chips is vibrating. It's a call from Elon asking my opinion on the potential for reusable condoms - what colors and flavors should he use?

Whatever one fits over his head probably works

Do you seriously put spicy bean sauce on peanut butter tuna sandwiches???!!!

Oh, I think Madam Dòubàn jiàng is going to have a fit. She might just whip you so hard that your 5G chip would just pop right out.

I laughed harder upon finding out who Pooh Bear is (from your illustrious picture book, nonetheless) than seeing Donald's Library and Museum.

That humour of yours - it might just send a lot of people to their chiropractors or surgeons.

Hope it brings you as much joy as it does us. Minus the doctors' bills :)

How on earth do you uncover such fascinating information?! Glad to hear the 2nd chip has been installed...

It may or may not be a result of incessant curiosity and a complete lack of regular adult responsibilities

J.J. if you're going to read "Gulliver's Travels" as an adult book, you need to get the Penguin Classics or Modern Library version. They have notes and intros that explain all the stuff that might go beyond you otherwise, without serving as spoilers.

Bold of you to assume I can read at an adult level

Alex Soo-Junk Kim Pang's book Shorter is a fascinating deep dive into a shorter work week. I tried it for a hot second, but I don't have the discipline to work less…
