Kickass, the doorstop dog, warns the keeper and Phyllis that it will obviously only be a matter of time until they get notices from the Fox News rejects and Musk, who are now producing the national tragi-comedy TV show in Washington entitled “What’s My Lie?”
That notice, likely in the form of an executive order from the “What’s My Lie” producer, will require that everyone over the age of 50 list five reasons on a weekly basis as to what they are doing to deserve to live long enough to receive such benefits as SS, and if they have already lived that long, why should they continue to do so?
The keeper, ever anxious to be helpful, offers the following life-validating suggestions as the ICE agents may or may not be lurking with orders to facilitate the final emigration.
1. I successfully peed in the middle of the night.
2. I took my meds and did the eye drops.
3. I dressed, including shoes and socks which is not the small thing it once was.
4. I turned the coffeepot on and poured a cupful.
5. I made it across the living room to the recliner and tuned the TV to vintage cartoons.
The keeper would hope to file the same government required list next week and the week after that, and he encourages Phyllis to do the same despite her inclination to rebel at all official dictates.
