– Hello?
– Hi, this is Ray at California Cryobank. I’m calling for the six-month check-up. How is everything?
– It’s great. It really is. Sharice and I are ecstatic about this baby.
– Mr. Bending will be pleased to hear that.
– Who?
– The name of your donor is Orvis Bending. He is seventy-four.
– Wait, what? What the–how are you even allowed to give me his name?
– Mr. Bending specified that he did not want to donate anonymously. In fact Mr. Bending gave quite a bit of extra information. Here is a quote from Mr. Bending: “One of my legs is a tire.”
– Oh my God.
– Here is another quote from Mr. Bending: “I am a big fat boy and the fact that I have lived this long is from the aerobic conditioning I have developed while waddling away from the police after setting things on fire. I love fire. I am the fastest schizophrenic I know.”
– This… this is inside my wife?
– None of that last quote was originally punctuated by Mr. Bending. And precisely, Mr. Stevens.
