"Oh no, don’t say it was a box of store-bought breadcrumbs, you’re breaking my heart."

"Sure, hitting a deer would probably solve his problem, and Lord knows deer were always dashing out in front of his car, but now that John wanted to hit a deer, the universe would never send him a deer, no matter how fast he drove through dark forested roads at twilight."

"And his wife holding up the newborn would say, 'Darling, I would like to introduce you to Tertius.'”

Truly amazing, as always.

Don't normally write comments (not that there's anything wrong with that) but this was a great essay. Happy to hear that Troy lived happily ever after once he learned how to do email.

Could not have loved DIY more. I listened to it at work and it’s read by a robo voice, which made it even funnier - diy indeed! The bit about hitting the deer - Jesus, so funny.
