We all, well, many of us anyway, daydream of coming into big money. You know, winning the lottery or the like. Me Uncle John who I sometimes call Zeke was no different. He dreamed of winning the lottery. Indeed, he was quite prepared for it. He had in truth determined the very first thing he would do if he won. Seeing as folks like to hit you up for money if the thought you had a pile, Zeke said that if the big bucks came his way he would begin answering every single question No. Then he would answer the actual question.
"Hey John, how are today?"
"No. I'm doing great, thanks for asking."
"How about this fine weather we been having, John?"
"No. It's been pleasant, hasn't it? I might go golfing."
"What are doing for dinner today Zeke?"
"No. Well, I believe I have a taste for Mexican, now that you got me thinking about it."
Such a kidder. Until I realized he meant it.
