Even snakes are afraid of snakes. I can’t stop thinking like this. This isn’t all true. You know how it is when you’re walking up the stairs, and you get to the top, and you think there’s one more step?  I’m like that all the time. I put hardwood floors on top of wall-to-wall carpet. Tinsel is really snakes’ mirrors. Two babies were born on the same day at the same hospital.  They lay there and looked at each other.  Their families came and took them away.  Eighty years later, by a bizarre coincidence, they lay in the same hospital, on their deathbeds, next to each other.  One of them looked at the other and said, “So. What did you think?” My grandfather gave me a watch.  It doesn’t have any hands or numbers.  He says it’s very accurate.  I asked him what time it was.  You can guess what he told me.
