This is part of a conversation Jake and I had last night.

Me: Are you going to cut Gertie’s cord?
Jake: I don’t know!
Me: What do you mean, ‘You don’t know?’
Jake: Isn’t it slimy and gross?
Me: Probably, but they clamp it in two spots and you just cut in between. You don’t have to actually touch it.
Jake: I’m not the grand marshal of the opening of a new Denny’s, for chrissakes!
