…(heavy sigh of relief)… Oh, thank somebody’s god! You really had me worried for a minute. I was afraid people would start expecting me to write important books and speak at lectures and stuff like that. That would seriously cut into my naval lint collection time. Damn near gave me a heart attack, and I just recently loaned my heart to Straw Boy. Would feel rather bad if it stopped while he was using it.
