Thanks for the comments! I really appreciate it!

I have to say, something about this line stuck with me after I read it (Thanks, Desiree!) and while I didn't actually intend to write anything at first, a whole host of ideas went through head.

This idea came much later and while it doesn't make me laugh in the same way, it lent itself much more to a story.

It's good to know that even when I feel like my muse is on vacation, I can still get something out that's mildly entertaining.
