Friday morning I heard about MJ’s death in the following manner: I called my logistics team in Wales and A.D. answered the phone.
AD: Heya, good morning- guess what, MJ had a heart attack and died!
me: REALLY? No, you’re joking!
AD: No, I swear to ye, he really did!
me: Sheesh, I must live in a media vacuum…
AD: Yea, we’re completely bent over it here in the office. Di’ye know what he said on the way to hospital?
me: (earnestly) No, what?
AD: Could ye drop me at the children’s ward, please?
God, I love Welsh humor!
