Wishes

I always wish for more happiness for everyone and more money for me. I'm fairly certain that I can buy happiness.

Overheard

-You mind if I ask you a question?

-No, go ahead

-What’s with the Fortress of Solitude?

-Uh, what do you mean?

-Well, it’s not very practical, is it? I mean it’s made of crystals. There’s no comfortable place to sit. There’s no place to put your stuff, no shelves, no closets. Where do you eat? Where’s the bathroom?

-You realize that it’s based on an alien civilization. It’s alien. Things are gonna be different.

-Different? It looks like a cheap movie set.

-Okay, okay! It’s crap! I know it. You don’t think that I’d like a decent couch? Maybe a couple of pictures on a vertical wall? You have no idea what it’s like to have the voice of your dead father echoing through your house every goddam night! It sucks! Okay?
