LOL. Humans have such wonderful imaginations! We can come up with wonderful stories all the time. It’s just too bad when people live them out, people actually believe this stuff and start “making plans”. Acting isn’t just for fiction, “acting truthfully under imaginary circumstances” happens all the time. Look forward to seeing the excuse coming May 22nd.
