It went something like this

Ring, ring, ring. (That's the phone ringing.)

Ragged: Hey, dear family member, I am on a bit of a hunt and wondered if you could help me out. I need a poodle skirt. Any ideas on who might have one?

Family Member: I have one.

Ragged: Great. May I borrow it? (Always using good grammar when making a request of a former English teacher.)

Family Member: It's in tip-top, mint condition. I'd need it returned in the same condition. It's in tip-top, mint condition. I'd need it returned in the same condition. It's in tip-top, mint condition. I'd need it returned in the same condition.

Ragged: I certainly would take great care of it. (Have you not noticed that I am obsessive-compulsive.)

Family Member: It's in tip-top, mint condition. I'd need it returned in the same condition.

Ragged wishing she'd said: Give me the poodle skirt and we'll pretend you didn't ruin my baby blue down jacket, my black purse and my copy of "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood". Call it even, ok?

Sounds like someone is a little bitter. Maybe another look at the Amature Blair Witch Project pictures are in order to bring back the giggles. Dont people like that drive ya nuts. Talk about beating a dead horse...
