“Congratulations Budd, what are you going to do with your degree?”
“I don’t know… maybe I’ll be a lecturer.”
“Those jobs are really hard to get. You know… you might try to get a continuing ed job—they’re less competitive.”
“Oh, thanks.”
“You know Budd, I tried to print something on mom’s computer and it took 30 minutes…”
“I know, I did my taxes on that computer. I finished and then dad tried… the swear words were flying.”
“The reason your mother’s computer is slow is because of the anti-virus software she installed on it,” my brother-in-law said.
“I know, I have McAfee. It wants me to renew, and I don’t know which button to push to Not renew. Now it pops up in Spanish and Russian. I don’t trust anti-virus developers. Have you seen the documentary on McAfee?”
“No.”
“Well, it might be something you’re interested in. He was a sexual deviant.”
“I’m not interested in those sorts of people.”
“Oh, that’s not what I meant. I know you’re not a sexual deviant.”
“That stuff doesn’t interest me.”
“What does interest you?”
“I don’t know… everything.”
