She charged $20 for autographs at a Dallas Comicon a few weeks ago. The money, at least some, went to charity but who is asking for Chewbacca mom's autograph?

The PM for a contractor on one of my projects is Josh Hanson. Two work days in a row, I've called their office and accidentally asked for Josh Hancock.

I got a voicemail from my neighbor. She is a sweet old widow and I try to take care of her. If something at her house needs fixed or if she needs something heavy lifted I'm right there. Well she calls me today and says "Bill died today. I thought you would want to know, I'll keep you up to date on arrangements."

I don't know which Bill she means. I have three neighbors named Bill and I haven't seen any of them in two days.

I have an interview today and it's over Google Hangout. All they can see is from the chest up, or however I position my laptop. I'm toying with the idea of doing this without pants.

She has an action figure now. Again, who is buying this?

I don't know that I would call that dumb. At least not if you spend any time on boats or in a pool or anywhere that you have to drag them out of water.

My friends and I always have them on our dogs but not so that they don't drown, we like them because you can use the handle to easily get the dog back on the boat without getting scratched up.
