My cat's asleep on my lap. I now have the option of moving the cat and standing up, or convincing myself that there's more I want to do on the computer and I don't want to go read Speaker for the Dead.
"See, I write jokes for a living, man. I sit in my hotel at night and think of something that's funny and then I go get a pen and write 'em down. Or if the pen's too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of ain't funny."
