guy on the phone. A ridiculous way of referring to a female psychologist. It was on "60 Minutes." There were those cows in Michigan that got zapped by stray voltage and no one knows why. Maybe it was Wisconsin. "60 Minutes" is a famous TV news show. If a person gets "zapped," they are suddenly struck, perhaps by a bolt of actual electricity from a lightening storm. Michigan and Wisconsin are Midwestern states. Those parts where the daughter gives the mother the refrigerator with the big red bow on it. A "bow" is a knot formed by two or more curved pieces, often made of cloth or other material that is used for a decoration. The Polaroid ad….that kills me. In this case, a colloquial way of saying "that makes me laugh a lot." They’re a lot of desperate women out there looking for love. :: Especially over a certain age. In this context, "over a certain age" is a diplomatic way of referring to a woman who is older than about 35. It’s easier to be killed by a terrorist than to get married over the age of 40.

A "chainsaw" is an electric tool that is used to cut down trees (and sometimes kill people!) Now, we’re getting down to it! Here, a slangy way of saying "Now we’re finding out the truth." I got to go to Boston for the AAB convention and then visit Winston Hughes about switching over our computers. A "convention" is usually a large meeting of professionals from many different places. "To switch over" to a new computer system is to change from an old system ßto that new one. Valentine’s Day. A day of celebration for people in love, and other romantic couples. We can registe...for dishes, glasses, silver... If a couple "register" before getting married, they give their friends the name of a store that has a list of things that they would like to receive as a wedding present. How about it?!
