Don't know why the idea struck me as so damned funny. Barb and I were talking about how our psychotic cat is starting to act like a normal cat now that he is around nine years old. Barb asked when I thought it would become totally normal, so I simulated a cat with all fours pointed skyward. The cat doesn't stand a prayer of ever acting like a normal cat.
One thought lead to another and another, and it wasn't long before I was laughing over a phrase that sprang to mind. Happens often. I laugh hardest and longest at my own jokes.
Anyway, I want Barb to put this phrase on my tombstone (or plaque, actually, as I want to be burned into a tiny, tidy easy to transport and store package):
"Finally, he listened."
~Barb
Let people who stumble across the phrase decide what it means.
