Juggling the demands of thinking and breathing at the same time

So I look around the neighborhood and find Ninja Vicki up on her roof.

“Hey Ninja Vicki,” I say to her as I climb up to her.  “What’cha doing?”

“Tracking the mailman,” says Ninja Vicki.  “When I’m ready I’m going to jump down and tag him, just to let him know how close he came to certain death, if not for my mercy.”

“So right now you’re thinking about how to sneak up on a postal carrier,” I say.

“Is the world flat?” I ask.

Ninja Vicki slowly turns her head to me, and though I can only see her eyes I can tell she’s making a “What the fuck?” look on her face.

Conclusion 2: Sherri Shepherd is still the dumbest person in America.
