Observations on Fishing by Me, Tengo Leche

Some people expect sympathy when anything goes wrong. These same people also believe they never get all the sympathy they deserve. I sympathize.

To help, I am putting together a list of things you should never say if you are fishing for sympathy.

I caught a cold in the Caymans and wasn’t able to do as much snorkeling as I wanted.

This person is never going to get the sympathy he believes he’s entitled to.

The Club

I was at the club when a golf ball shaped minister said
give him a second chance.  Hear what he has to say.
He makes more sense now that he's a CPA.

Then a putting preacher proclaimed the good news:
he went to Wharton and got an MBA.
Hearing that, I dropped to my knees and prayed.

And Jesus put aside peace in the Middle East
to sanctify the deductions I should take.
The truth depends, he chanted like a Gregorian,
on how much the Emperor thinks you make.

For you must render unto Caesar what is his
but only confess what he already knows
then set up a charity in the Caymans
and watch as your blessings grow.

I invited him for golf and a Bloody Mary or two.
But isn't your club anti-Semitic, he asked.
Jesus Christ, I laughed, you're not a Jew.
