I require that my mortgage be paid off by Monday.

It is my compensation for working for you. It is my sandwich at lunchtime. You will have had a week to prepare it.

When I call the bank on Monday to inquire, will I find that it has been paid?

I have no illusions of that whatsoever.

...Know your audience, right?

"Hey! We're the Future People, doing Chris' Behind the Music Movie. We'd like to interview you. So, uh, why did his house fall into foreclosure when he could have paid it off ten times over if he had only ignored you like he should have all along? Is it because his hobby of a show was free? He was, after all, America's Senior Hobbyist Comedian. He studiously avoided working everyone else's side of the street when he rolled out his Cucka Joke Wagon. We're pretty sure comedy was just a goof for him. Is that why he never, ever, ever did another video? Was it not worth his trouble? 'Why bother,' right? Was it a case of pearls before swine?"
