Far too often the perfect one-liner comes an hour or a day too late. I was really proud of myself the day somebody suggested that a new name for his band could be Oatmeal Savages and I replied "What? A Cereal Killer?"

Also at Halloween I took my kids up to school in their costumes for the Halloween parade around the halls. A very cute little scene as 4 to 8 year olds in various getups marched solemnly around. A lot of doting mothers were hovering at one end of the hallway with cameras and I laughed and told them they were the Mamarazzi.
