Having to wear incontinence pants.

Trying to remember what my kids look like.

- If you had a trained monkey, what would you make it do?
Go shoplifting at Tiffany.
- If your office was burning down, what object would you save and why?

Give the monkey a day off and go shoplifting at Tiffany myself.
