- Pardon me, but I have failed to grasp your meaning, Willis.
- Would you be so kind as to clarify, Willis?
- (As a bit of a side note on this one, I was inspired, due to the fact that my wife seems unable to say the phrase correctly. She generally will say "Whachu talking about, Willis?" Here's to you Maria.)
In my bathroom at home I have a sink just like everybody else. What I have that most people DON'T have is a water fountain attachment. Despite my best efforts to find a link or a picture of something like it on the internet, I can't. Even though it was never one of those things that I felt like I needed before, I have to have it now. We call him Shamu, since he is like a little killer whale.
