I'm 40. I'm too old to even try to be a cop now, aren't I?
Rock stardom may be beyond your grasp as well.
When was your birthday?
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My father fell out of a tree last week. Don't let your age stop you from trying improbable things.
Except, well, he fell. I didn't check to see the last time he'd achieved tree safely, but bully for him at 70 DOING STUPID PHYSICAL THINGS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have a question of standards. I have a linen pants suit that I'm planning on wearing to work tomorrow. I've worn it once since it came from the cleaners, so it's wrinkled, as linen does. I could iron it tonight, but I'm pretty sure it will be exactly as wrinkled as it is now by the time I get to work in the morning, no matter what. I mean, right?
Am I just making lazy excuses?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My grandfather fell out of a tree when he was in his early 80s. He was picking apples in our apple orchard. I was about four and I saw it happen. I laughed.
For years, my older brother gave me shit for laughing.

Also, who fucking wears a shawl when it's 95 fucking degrees out?
It is a nice shawl, though. Purple.

Lazy excuses, Jesse. You need to decide if you care or not and go from there.
I swear I could tell if they were new wrinkles or not, but a) could be full of shit and b) do you really care about my opinion of your ironedness?
Ooh. Phone in my pocket is vibrating.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Jesse, I wouldn't iron. But then, I don't. Iron.
I would also wear the suit, which is probably the pertinent answer. Maybe hang it in the bathroom when you shower for the steamy.

Note to self, part 2: Especially because you are saying so in public.

The tree doesn't fall far from the apple, does it?

Yeah, my usual anti-iron tricks don't work for linen. And it just occured to me that I can iron in the newly air-conditioned bedroom, so I guess I'll give it a shot.
I hate two-suit weeks at work.
