John’s finally getting around to recycling the pile of cards he got for his birthday. Â Since he turned 40 this time, some are more sadistic than others:
Card from my father, “Ma-cho ma-cho man….”
John (cutting open the card in order to fiddle with the mechanism), “Hmmm…”
Cfmf, “I want to be – a macho man!”
John, “Oh. Â So that’s how that works.”
Cfmf, “I want to be a macho!”
Me, “Hit it with a hammer.“
