Well I never fill out that form either. I simply am to damn lazy. So a fist bump for you my friend some day you will finally have a significant other and you still wont bother to fill it out.

Krusty, I think the bar can still go lower. I figure if this doesn’t work my third draft is going to be a well-worded Craigslist “Missed Connection.”

But I can’t be the only single one out there who dreads filling out the emergency contact form when it comes around at the office. For starters, I can’t answer half the questions. I don’t have a regular physician. I don’t have a daytime phone. I don’t have a work phone. I don’t have insurance. I don’t have a significant other. Need I go on. I basically put my name and address at the top of the page and hand it back. At least I have that addy.

Poetry huh, just when I thought you had scraped the bottom of the barrel. Oh man you just keep lowering the bar.

The next stanzas:

If you don’t hear from me in a week’s time,
To my apartment, please make the drive,
In case I’ve choked on some grub,
Or slipped in the tub,
Just check to see that I’m still alive.

You see, the apartment that I dwell,
Generally has a funny smell,
And the neighbors may ignore,
The stench coming through the floor,
Leaving my rotting corpse unnoticed for weeks or more…

And it would be a shame,
If it was the landlord that came,
To evict me for unpaid rent,
He comes across my accident,
And he would be pleased, because I wasn’t a very good tenant.
