Today’s random word is proxy.

“My brother, Martin, died last week. Don’t gasp or feel sorry. He was the penultimate jerk. Overbearing, obnoxious, a veritable embarrassment on legs. Well, leg. One was amputated after he intentionally jumped off the roof into the pool. He missed. It wasn’t his worst day.

“Last Thursday was his worst day… Skiing on a closed trail and… whoopsie, off the mountain.

“As his proxy, I‘ll be deconstructing his life’s work as Chairman of Acme Manufacturing! Three one-hour breaks a day! Beer and Doritos! And… pinball machines!”

Cheers around!

Martin enters… “April Fool! Excuse me, but did I hear cheers?”
