    Sarah wasn’t sure which was worse, baby Jacob’s inability to sleep in a horizontal position or his constant crying when he was awake. If the baby ward at Kaiser Permanente would take returns as readily as Costco her life would be much simpler.

    To plough takes two as well,

    But only one to hold up the sky.

    Two men need one money

    But one money needs no man,

    One is on ones knees, loses ones head,

    Except maybe a delicious demon, hee how!

    Dave Berg cartoon: The doctor told the patient he was sure the rash on his neck would clear up by itself. Final frame: “If I didn’t know better I’d swear that was diaper rash.” Out the window you see the patient walking away with his very young son straddling his neck.
