Hey CJ! I notice here in the paper that they have proven that Libras are the most unsafe drivers! Aren't you a Libra? ~ Budge

Trust you to home in on something stupid like that Budge. ~ CJ

Well I've noticed you do get kind of wild when you get behind the wheel of your car. I just thought it was because you were blonde, but now I know it's because of your sign. ~ Budge

I'll have you know I have never in my life gotten a traffic ticket, which, I might add, is more than can be said for you. ~ CJ

Well I'm not snogging one of Arlington's finest. Maybe if I were... ~ Budge

Don't be ridiculous! I've only been seeing Frank for a few months. ~ CJ

Wait a minute! Where are you going? ~ Budge

Where do you think I'm going? I have a job. ~ CJ

But your horoscope says you should stay home today. ~ Budge

Was that horoscope cast before or after Pluto was reclassified as a non-planet? ~ CJ

Why should that matter? ~ Budge

Well, if it was cast before Pluto was reclassified, it will have to be redone because it was based partly on the position of a planet that wasn't a planet. ~ CJ

Hmmm. You've got a point. You know, that might explain your driving skills. ~ Budge

What are you talking about? ~ CJ

Well, you've never gotten a ticket because when Pluto was a planet it must have had a positive effect on your driving skills. Now that it's not a planet, you no longer are under its influence. ~ Budge

That is the biggest bunch of bull hockey I've ever heard! ~ CJ

Maybe we ought to move to New Mexico. ~ Budge

New-- Why would we want to move to New Mexico? ~ CJ

Because the New Mexico legislature is considering a bill to make Pluto a planet when it is in the sky over New Mexico. So you could still have the beneficial effects from Pluto if we lived there. ~ Budge

Tell you what. Why don't you move to New Mexico since you are so worried about it? ~ CJ

But I'm not the one who has the bad driving horoscope. ~ Budge

I've heard enough. I've got to go, or I'm going to be late. ~ CJ

You mean you're going to drive even though your horoscope says you shouldn't? ~ Budge

Not only am I going to drive, but I think I'm going to take the long way there just to show you how much bunkum this horoscope nonsense is. ~ CJ

[Sigh] I knew it would be useless to argue with you. My chart said my persuasive skills would be at their low point for the month today. Just remember that when you crash, die, and join me as a ghost, I will tell you I told you so for the rest of your death. ~ Budge
