This is one of my favorite short stories. I'm sure most of you have read it. It's pretty popular. Glad I found this instance. I'll be posting a few things that I haven't seen here. Let me know if I overdo it lol.

That's funny. I just commented to somebody here on the thread that there's an audio version out there. That's pretty good. And you sent that almost the exact same time I sent the comment talking about it lol. Thanks!

Yeah!! I saw this years ago, it’s a great re-watch. I always assumed it was a skit first- cool to see the short story!
