You see the 60 Minutes news team waiting at your home,You turn on the news and they’re showing emergency routes out of the city,You wake up and discover your waterbed broke and then realize you don’t have a waterbed,The bird singing outside your window is a buzzard.
As a boy in the ’50s, I found out that using a model-airplane fuel filler press-valve and a lighter as a Flame Thrower would set the house on fire. Yes, I was too young to learn anything from it, but it did not prevent me from a Top Secret Clearance.
Well, Calvin, I’m really sorry to tell you this; but it’s going to be a little hard for your parents to miss the house now being filled with four feet of water!
We bought our first home, the wife had saved for new appliances. They were installed, the gas ws to be turned on in the morning, so we went out to eat. She put in a load of laundry and when we came back, there was 2 in of water throughout the house. Thank God the mortgage company demanded household insurance. What a nightmare.
