laughing matters

The first dialogue of my day: Big-brother Mike: No matter how bad a day you're having, after watching just a few minutes of Jerry Springer you'll feel instantly better about yourself.

::Laughter::

Mom: I don't understand why he would even have a show like that?

Me: Who? Springer?

Mom: Yes. He is such a wonderful man.

::MUCH laughter from me and Mike::

Mom: What?!  He is!
