"That's why you're not allowed to have a lawn."

Kate has a standing rule that I am not allowed to own anything which has appeared on the BBC show Primeval, wherein cute British scientists chase dinosaurs that have emerged into the present day through holes in the fabric of space and time. I think this proves that Kate is mean to me. Everyone else thinks this proves that Kate is a very smart woman who deserves a higher pay grade.

Last week's episode (which we watched last night) featured a saber-toothed tiger rampaging through an amusement park. This made me happy. This made Kate leery of my inevitable demand for one of my own. Finally...

"Can I--"
"No."
"But--"
"No."
"But--"
"Is it on this show? If it's on this show, you can't have it."

I attempted logic:

"They have grass on this show."

I should not attempt to use logic against Kate:

"And that's why you're not allowed to have a lawn."

Kate and her mighty hammer of logic: all that saves the world from dinosaur devastation on a daily basis. You can thank her later. And remember, she does take bribes.

Consider yourself fortunate that Kate apparently has a "reasonable exception" clause to that rule.

They have clothing and air on that show, too.

(I've never watched it, so I don't know if they have ever had food on Primeval.)

Please do not point these things out to her.

If she can't figure it out herself, I'm not going to help. I'm not paid enough to thwart any woman, let alone one that isn't in the same state most of the time.

Good man.
