The coffee machine reached an agreement with me to produce two cups each morning with no hesitation. In return, I agree to ensure the water tank is filled and the beans are replaced. Oh yes, there is another fine point. The toaster needs to be moved closer to the machine and left overnight. Not wanting to know stuff that I would need to drink heavily to forget, there were no questions asked.

Before opening the first email, some idiot rings the front doorbell. In order to do so, they would have to move the sign that says “Please Do Not Ring the Doorbell “away from the button.

“Proffered? That sounds like a legal term.”

“Probably. It seemed to fit.”

“And it started with ‘pro.'”

“I don’t care what they say. I think you are pretty proficient.”

“Who are they?” Promulgaters of hate?”

“Promiscus spreaders of lies?”

“Try and come back to reality. Protect your mind from these evil thoughts.”

“Time to think of something more proactive.”

“Yeah, like a Voo Doo Ranger prompt.”

“Stop. Just call Uber.”

  11. I am guessing Mickey or Minnie Mouse at the door, but will wait until next Saturday for confirmation.
    In keeping with the prompt, you should ask for a Provision beer from Belgium at the bar. They probably don’t have it, but it’s the thought that counts.
