caller:
silence
me: "ok. go to bed. if you float by my window again, give me a call."
caller: "it's a good thing i don't have to do drug testing tomorrow"
me (running more hot water in the tub): "yeah, you're probably right. but they wouldn't do anything anyway if you tested positive"
caller: "i know. it's stupid. is't all tho thupid. if you tell 'em you'll test positive they won't...do anything...if...you...don't tell them....then you have to pay six dollars"
me: "well, you have prescriptions for them so you wouldn't have to pay $6"
