Everything's funnier with a fever

Poor phil dislocated his shoulder two weeks ago. Three days after that he badly sprained his arm in a bicycle accident, and still can't move it enough to even tie his long hair back (I get that job). Now today he has a mysterious fever on top of all that.

Watching The Sopranos tonight, they mentioned Billy Joel, and I remembered a funny story I once heard about him. I turn to Phil and say:

"Hey you know that Billy Joel song 'I love you just the way you are'? The one Shrek sings?"

"Yeah", Phil says.

"Well he wrote it for his wife, Christie Brinkley....".

Phil sits up straight on the couch and interrupts the story: "What? Shrek wrote it for Christie Brinkley??!!"


Question of the day: Is it cruel to pee laughing at your delerious, feverish boyfriend?

--------------

PS- I don't usually reference the classics with their Pixar/disney/warner soundtracks, but I know Phil is not a fan of mr Joel, and wanted to put it into a context he would know.

Louise darling are you remembering to wipe your prints off of everything you give him?
Phil dude did I not tell you to run?
On that whole song thing I can't front I was more impressed when Shrek and the whole crew was running around with the Buzz Cocks song playing in the background. It's the only song I really remember from the movie that and whatever it was the donkey sang.

"prints?.... um.... hang on...."

{runs out of room for several minutes, walks back in much more relaxed, with cleaning jiffy in hand}

"Um, yeah, no, why would I be worried about prints? Remember: I. Did. Nothing."
