My old friend John, unannounced as always, popped his head into my office this week. "Hey Rick, do you have a financial form I could borrow?"
"John, we have lots of financial forms. What type do you need?"
"One that shows how much you are worth."
"Oh, a Personal Financial Statement. Sure, ask Lindsay for one," I replied.
"Okay, great, got to go," he said, starting toward the front office.
"John," I hollered after him, "What do you need it for? Are you applying for a loan?"
"Oh, no. I have a date tonight and I need to give it to her so I know if I should bother asking her out a second time."
