Welcome to another installment of the Pembroke Mafia Football League. The author is frustrated with Congress and considers getting a therapy animal, specifically a pre-owned Colombian red howler monkey, to cope with the stress.
“You want a what?” “A howler monkey. It’s for my Congress-induced PTSD.”
The author's wife is opposed to the idea, citing a past incident with a gerbil that got lost at Kroger. The conversation between the author and his wife reveals their humorous dynamic.
“You haven’t worn pants since you retired. You wear shorts.” “Well, who wears the shorts in this family, then? I got needs.”
The author's lighthearted and playful tone makes for an entertaining read. Author's summary: Frustrated with Congress, seeking therapy animal.
