Maybe this is a "you had to be there" kind of moment. . .

How's my day going? Lemme put it this way: I just coughed so hard I wrenched my neck. Ouch.

So, I'm telling Lis that SHE should go and feed the cat, because I'm just not doing well.

IAN: There's a saying that ongoing, naggling pain robs you of five IQ points. And right now. . . [POINTS TO head with headache, mouth with toothache, wrenched neck, upper back, chest with heartburn, and both calves] I've got seven of them. I'm down thirty-five IQ points. That leaves me with . . . um. . .

IAN and LIS together: 105

IAN: Okay, fine, maybe that wasn't such an impressive argument after all. . .

(Actually, we don't know, nor much care, what my IQ is. And, written down, this doesn't actually read as funny as it was when it happened. Oh, well.)

Which makes it even funnier that you both picked the same number!
