Today I got an email from my fool of a brother with the subject, "Important Question." The only words in the email were, "Please forward this to my father," along with an M4A file. Immediately I could feel my heart pounding. Was something wrong? What could he possibly need? Before I relayed the message, I played it and got this with a very serious voice:

Dear Dad: I have a question. Is Schubert, the classical music composer, originated from the state of California? I expect your response promptly. Bye.

I have no idea why I expected anything but idiocy.
