Maybe you've heard this one before:

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "I would like to buy some cyanide."

The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"

The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."

The pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband. That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.

The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied,

"Well now, that's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription.

Better Call Saul - Speculation

I have to admit, as much as I loved, loved, loved Breaking Bad, I might just be loving BCS more. Probably because of the relative lack of violence.

So here's what I'm wondering: what are your thoughts of what happens between Chuck and his wife? I don't think we have learned anything at all about that yet. Her being a violinist is going to play some sort of role, right? But what? I know it is going to tie into the story, and possibly into BB as well, somehow. What do you think?

Also, I have a predictions for an easter egg: at some point, we're going to see one of the law firms getting involved in Walt's former-partners' biotech company. That occurred to me when Kim was making all of her outreach calls.

I wish this were a Netflix series that got all released at once. It is too good to only have an hour per week!

One more: how many BB characters do you think will appear in BCS? So far we have Nacho, Tuco and Tio Salomanco. Who else?

Loving this show so much!

Syntax

I'm not trying to make light of this very serious event, but is it just me or is this sentence very poorly worded?

BRISBANE — A dismembered body found near a San Francisco Bay Area pier belonged to a woman reported missing by her husband, who jumped off the Bay Bridge after police recovered her mutilated torso, authorities confirmed Wednesday.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (VT) is a superdelegate

He has promised his support to HRC. He insists that no matter how his state votes, his support remains with HRC, because he promised it and he is keeping his word.

Is that a good thing? I'm very conflicted about this. Are superdelegates supposed to take into consideration what the rest of their state thinks, or do they just get to do whatever they want with their vote(s)? It doesn't seem right, to me.
