Ya Wife Slept With An Alien?

Shannon posted some alternative greeting card messages. One of them was, "How could two people as beautiful as you have such an ugly baby?"

This struck something or other in my memory bank so bear with me or bare with me if it makes it more interesting for you, while I delve into my annals.

Just after "She with ants in her pants," had given birth to our first little baby Bogs, I was taken to a room to stand in line to gaze at all the little boggers that had arrived that day. I suppose it was a bonding exercise. I bonded with a woman next to me. It was all I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours kind of stuff. The woman looked at the little thing in front of me and said,"Oh what a shame!" I had to agree. The little thing was - different.

"OMG! Milt ya wife slept with an alien?"

I had thought that the weird looking baby belonged to the woman next to me and that the pretty looking baby was the true Bogs model. Turned out to be the other way round.

The baby's head was a very strange shape. Looked like a garden gnome wearing one of those pointy hats, only the baby wasn't wearing a pointy hat. The nurse said to make sure he always slept with the pointy bit down. Said it would squash back to a more normal shape, what with bones in babies' heads being soft and all that.

We did our best but it isn't easy to stand a baby on its head for sleeping sessions. He looks reasonably normal nowadays but there were periods in his early life when he chose to wear a hat.

Sorry J.

So there you are. Not only does he write garbage but he hasn't got a clue about design. I think it's about time one of you clever graphics people out there took Milt's template in hand and redesigned him. Before you go, just check the comment box out. It's a marvel of modern design.
