Little House

I was getting the instructions for taking care of my friend's cat, and I was giggling about his name, Merlin. I decided to call the cat Merlin Olsen.

My former co-worker and contributer to this website, Dr. Crazy Pappy, looks just like Mr. Olsen.

About an hour later, I finally called up the National Association for the Self Employed to cancel my membership. The phone picked up with a recorded message:

"Hi, this is Merlin Olsen for the National Association for the Self Employed."
