No one quite like The Derd
E-mail conversation with my father:
Julia: I finally figured out what to get you for your birthday/father's day. The items are supposed to go out in the mail tomorrow, so you should hopefully get them (all in one package) this weekend or next.
Jim: Good grief! There is no need to get me anything. I've already got everything (that matters).
Julia: Blah blah blah. I tried to pick out some things I really thought you'd like. So shut it! :-P
Jim: Aha, you got me some socks!
Julia: Yes, a different color for every day! Most of them have hearts on them, but some have flowers. Enjoy!
Jim: A different color for every day of the week or for every day of eternity and if I exhaust the supply of different colors of socks does that cause the end of time?
Actually, I predict that it isn't socks.
Julia: One of your musings is correct. I will not specify which.
Jim: Illuminated by your clue, planning ahead, I shall obtain a larger sock drawer. Must keep time going long enough to drink more port. Hate for it to go to waste. So much port, (hope not) so little time.
