Oh, hi Mom. Why am I calling? Well, I just wanted to warn you that you might want to stay away from the TV today. I think they are doing some wiring work in your apartment building today, and it might not be safe to turn on anything electronic. You know I'm always looking out for you.
What's that? You've been watching TV all day and you've already seen the commercial? <gulp> Umm.... what commercial would that be, Mom? I've no idea what you are talking about?
Oh, THAT commercial. Gorn gone wild? No! That's not me! Yes, I've seen it, and I admit that skinny one at the Python convention flashing his "assets" looks a bit like me, but no, I didn't even go to the Monty Python convention this year.
Ouch! Mom, don't yell so loud. I told you that wasn't me.
No, Agave is not a bad influence and hanging out with him did NOT lead me into a bad crowd. Ummm, yes, Kroma is a bad crowd, but let's not be judgemental. You always tought me to be open-minded.
What? Yes, I could have found a way to get some more chocodilles that didn't involve hiking up my shirt. No, I mean HE could have. The Gorn in the commercial. That wasn't me. It was just some other Gorn that looked like me.
No, I didn't drop my pants either.
NO! I told you I didn't go to the Python festival this year! Those pictures I sent you last week were from last year's festival.
NO! You did not raise a liar and a slut! I'm a good boy!
YES! Those forty hours of labor were worth the effort!
MOM!!! Stop crying!!
<Sigh>. OK, I won't come home for Christmas this year if you think that would embarress the whole family. But really, I'm telling you that wasn't.....
Mom? Mom? She hung up!
<sigh> those royalties better be worth it. Mom makes a mean chocolate-covered, powdered donut, pancake surprise at Christmas. I always loved those.
