Concerning the vagaries of domestic hot-water heaters:

FWP: Damn. No hot water again.
CSO: Why do you think that always happens at this hour?
FWP: Climate change.

CSO: But there’s snow on the back deck!
FWP: That’s just the failure of the government to act.

CSO: Should I have the furrier bring my coats back?
FWP: Naah. But I think I’ll get the snowblower out of the shed. Just in case.
