Disclaimer: My test results are back and they came out "negative." I don't own Phil of the Future. Chunks! I was hoping to be diagnosed with a chronic case of PotF, because I sure feel like I do. Think it's psychosomatic? Feel my forehead if you don't believe me!

{COUgh, CouGH} hi henrietta. it's lloyd, lloyd diffy. i'm not feeling very well, so i don't think i'll be coming into the store today. I think I have some kind of disease; yeah, that's it. Probably that flu that's going around, um, "blue flu," "bird flu," "yellow fever," "red tide," "black death," one of those -- just the 24 hour kind. Don't worry or call the house or anything, cuz, because ... I'll be sleepin', yeah, and, uh, my kids are studying for school, and my wife and I .... Aw, I'm not really sick. Sorry, I know I'm not showing the Mantis Hardware team spirit; it's just that Barb is alone all day in this house and I want to take her out on a "play date" to feel appreciated and feel the sun on her face, to feel as vibrant and alive as she is to me. Boss, can I have today off? I'll work two Saturdays to make up for it. It's just that I can't bear seeing my wife sad like she is this morning.
