I like to think I'm a bit more discerning than that. I'm not, but I like to think so.

Yeah, I didn't believe you - I didn't think ice hockey got any pick.

Apparently ice hockey doesn't get a veto, either.

You buy your wife a bed mat for her truck, as a Christmas present, and she thinks it is a very thoughtful and useful gift.
