When I get cool emails from readers, I always make Andy read them out loud to me, so that when he doesn’t laugh at something I say, he knows the problem is him, not me.

(I also forward them to my dad, because I think it makes him happier when he pays his part of the student loans he took out for me.)

The other day I got an email from a reader named Maggie, and it was so awesome, I immediately forwarded it to Andy and then called his office to make him read it to me, which he did, super fast and uncaring, like he had something more important to do?

So I was like, awesome, right? And he is like, I guess? And I was all,what do you mean you guess, read the good line again, and he was like, what good line? and I was like, this one…

“I know some FUNNY bitches but you are by far one of the greatest comedic writers of this century…Helen Keller takes a close 2nd.”

And Andy is like, that’s the good line? And I am like, um yes, she called me one of the greatest comedic writers of this century, I’m putting this email on my tombstone, and Andy is all, yeah but she also said you were just one above Helen Keller, so I think she just compared your writing abilities to that of a deaf blind girl, so congrats on that.

Whatever Andy, Helen Keller was a bad ass, but not as bad ass as me, apparently.
