Team Fergmeijer watched a documentary on how to make pickles this past week. It was jarring.

We decided we wanted a new pet, so we went to the pet store to buy a goldfish. The clerk asked us if we wanted an aquarium, but we told him we don’t really believe in astrology.

A forgetful old gasman named Dieter,
Who went poking around his gas heater,
Touched a leak with his light;
He blew out of sight—
And, as everyone who knows anything about poetry can tell you, he also ruined the meter.
Have a good week!
