"Eggy, I am home."

"Where the hell have you been?  I was worried sick!"

"Really? You were worried?"

"Hell yes, I was afraid KFC was closed and you would not bring home my three piece meal."

"Oh, well no worry.  I have it right here."

"Hold on Adric.  The careful work of the chicken people has been tampered with. My biscuit shows damage in transit."

"That would be when I slammed into the back of the police cruiser."

"Not again."

"Yes.  I am late because of that.  Well that and getting roughed up, having to do all those drunk tests, and promising the officer that Crap would assist in his daughters' triangle musical career to avoid a night in jail."

"Is she any good?"

"No, but her looks distract you from the music."

"Hot?"

"Only in the Danny Devito look-alike sort of way."

"You know Adric; you bored me in record time this evening.  I am going to eat in front of the TV laughing at American Idol losers."

"So you do not want to guess the cause of this accident?"

"Negligence?  Stupidity?  Attempt to end it all?"

"Well no.  Not this time anyway.  I saw something that distracted me."

"Peeing you say?"

"Yes, I cannot imagine who took that snapshot, but let's stick to the big issue."

"Your weird sideways pee stance?"

"No, the ad itself."

"Cannot see the ad all that well.  Except your weird sideways pee stance."

"I expected that or perhaps the reading glasses excuse."

"I am getting older you know."

"No matter, I went by the sign company and got the ad proof copy."

"I see.  Are you asking your cat for advice on joining this service then?  Rather sad state of affairs if so."

"No, I am not.  It is a dumb idea.  No one is going to join a dumb service outside the grid that appears to be focused on restrooms."

"No one?"

"No one.  And not just that, even if a few people do sign up for a laugh, there is no money to be made for the company that runs it."

"If you feel that strongly, I support you."

"Really Eggy?  You do?"

"Yes, and I think the way to show them how you feel is to sign this release for use of the photo and release of any rights to any profits."

"You damn sure bet I will."

"Please sign here."

"Okay."

"And here."

"Got ya."

"Initial here."

"Gladly."

"Excellent."

"You know Eggy, you really have been supportive on this.  I appreciate it."

"Well, I am trying to brush up on my people skills having 63,434 members and all."

"It sounded liked you said members."

"Sure, but more importantly people who have paid to send each other virtual toilet paper, sanitary napkins, even urinal cakes."

"Wow.  Pennies a pop I am thinking?"

"It varies really, but they need Flusher Dollars to buy anything and we only sell those in 1000 and we are moving those non-refundable little babies to the tune of about what you make."

"In a month?"

"In your sad life."

"Well, one thing to do."

"Go crash into another cop car?"

"Go get me some of those Flusher Dollars before people think I am not cool."
