You don’t want to come home to a pile of dirty dishes. Which for some strange reason reminds me of this…
Hullo, Mrs. Premise.
Hullo, Mrs. Conclusion.
Busy Day?
Busy? I just spent four hours burying the cat.
Four hours to bury a cat?
Yes – it wouldn’t keep still.
Oh – it wasn’t dead, then?
No, no – but it’s not at all well, so as we were going to be on the safe side.
Quite right – you don’t want to come back from Sorrento to a dead cat. It’d be so anticlimactic. Yes, kill it now, that’s what I say. We’re going to have to have our budgie put down.
Really – is it very old?
No, we just don’t like it. We’re going to take it to the vet tomorrow.
Tell me, how do they put budgies down, then?
Well, it’s funny you should ask that, because I’ve just been reading a great big book about how to put your budgie down, and apparently you can either hit them with the book, or you can shoot them just there, just above the beak.
Just there? Well, well, well. ’Course, Mrs Essence flushed hers down the loo.
No, you shouldn’t do that – no, that’s dangerous. They breed in the sewers!

It’s an ether or situation, and Gary is more worried about the dirty dishes.

Leo wants to dish it out to Gary, but he’d rather conserve his energy, too. :D

Let’s see…. Wash dirty dishes or suck some blood?
Any normal vampire would have no trouble answering that question. Now, our Gary here….

His blood patches must need changing.
