GIVE ME AMBIGUITY!

One day, taking a break from law school – trust me, breaks are never optional – I wandered over to a strip mall that knew its clientele. Anything from candy, to paper, to Jolt Cola™ was obtainable for larcenous prices but a few goodies lurked here and there. T-Shirts. Great T- Shirts! I scooped up one for my son that said ‘Runs With Scissors.’ He was too old to do it but acknowledged he’d love to.

The two were great friends, till Washing Machine deceived him and Death did them part. I also gave him a different T-Shirt, and picked up one for my sister-in-law. Its logo was simple: "Give Me Ambiguity or Give Me Something Else."

My son wandered into the kitchen one way, wearing the shirt and carrying a glass of water. I glanced at him and said "Hi! Give me ambiguity or give me something else."

He passed me his glass of water.

"What’s this?" I asked.

"It’s something else."

The glass and I almost hit the floor as I *laughed.*
