The paper boy drove into our mailbox.

Awesome-town USA. That’s what happens when you’re snowed-in. If someone were to get smart, they’d go dual threat on us and combine a snow plow with a newspaper delivery service.

Me: How was your date last night?

RO: If by date, you mean laying on my couch eating spaghetti, then yes. I banged the shit out of my date. I went to bed at 11, and woke up at 10. I feel like a new man.
