Under the global influence.

My friend Tawana called late Wednesday night.

"Well, I've made up my mind. I'm going to go European."

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Yup. Everybody's doing it."

"I dunno. I can see just pulling the weeds, but I don't know about, well, mowing everything down."

"What? What are you talking about?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm going to buy a bike to ride to work."

"Oh. I thought you were going to shave something."
