Mom told me that dragonflies would sew my mouth shut.
Was afraid of them until I was at least 6 or so…

Philly used to know what to do with robots…
Poor Hitchbot

I keep my cash between the pages of my pocket notebook.

Ah, the classic good guy with a flashlight story.

Which reminds me… The best thing about giving your pet people names, is eventually somebody with that name will become a fixture in your life and then you get to refer to them as “Human Dave” and still call the pet Dave.
