What kind of raise are we talking? I don't know, nothing grand or obnoxious. Just something that says you appreciate me and my efforts and my many, many talents. Can't I just say I do appreciate you and be done with it? No, it doesn't work that way, Michael - You should know that. Besides, I thought you said you were in a good mood today. Good moods. Yeah, I am in a good mood. Go ahead, give yourself a raise and I'll sign it on Monday morning. Well, and now you can now count me among the many dogs and children that like you.
