    Because I had to do my annual checkup at the dentist, among other things. Of course, my memory is that of a man four times my age and it turned out that my appointment was tomorrow. I reckon I'll tell the foreman at the sawmill I'm currently working at that the dentist didn't have time to do everything he needed to and that's why I have to leave early tomorrow.

    Still, the cheap bastard in me screams in agony over the money I won't be earning today.

    Hah hah! Hah!

    Oh that he has to check on a new experimental treatment you had on your teeth - I was the first guinea pig for a new floride treatment (it was a lot stronger than the usual one). At least my teeth didn't turn a funny green colour.

    Well, I went to work after lunch and told them that they had to go tomorrow as well because they didn't have time to finish it off today. My bluff rank must be awesome; no one raised as much as an eyebrow.

    True. Much of the general interest revolves areound Euro 2008, what with us beating the crap out of the Greeks yesterday. I gained a huge modifier to my roll.

    I heard the Netherlands got Italy pretty good in the tournament.

    Now all you have to do is go back to work and tell them you have a cavity and have to go back in the next day to get it filled and BAM! 4-day weekend.

    If there was only a way to do that while still getting paid for the work I'm not doing I'd do it.

    Oh, that's easy. Just join the U.S. military. Not only do I get free dental care, I get paid whether I go to work or not.

    Particularly the US. It even comes with a free car, and unlimited gas/maintence!

    My desire for money isn't strong enough to marry a muslim to become one of the richest men in the world.

    Well, maybe it is.

    You'd think he'd notice when he's locked out of his room because his key is missing, and you happen to waltz right in there in front of his face and come right out with pockets full of gold coins. Or, he might think it odd that he's been sold the exact same gears five or six times in one day. Must be magic powers!! I guess someone has been drawing runes in the dirt.

    Nah, the constable's just a chicken shit. I'd act senile too, if I was that old and that cowardly. Wouldn't have to do a thing.
