Ass of the Month

Daniel, Daniel, Daniel…Daniel!!! Are you listening, my friend? Never, ever, ever blame your wife for something even if it is her fault. No good will come of it. None. And because you don’t seem to understand, your friends in FLOPS staged an intervention and voted you Ass of the Month. And remember when your friends call you an ass that is not a problem, but when your wife calls you an ass, note that, as my wife has pointed out more than once, you have to go to sleep sometime…
