No extended warranty but unequalled upgrade package

My life, and yours, and whomever comes along are small gifts born of biological chance.  Kind of.  Yes I met your mother whilst looking around for a date, but the TIMING of me doing so was simply amazing.  I was a pioneer of internet trolling.  Basically a hero.  I somehow FOUND, BRIEFLY SCANNED, and retained somehow enough info from to concoct a rediculously charming Monty Python opening line that worked wonders.   SEVERAL hundred others came after with futile imitation.  Lame.  Of course my invitation to play monopoly on a sunny weekend afternoon was a delightful treat.  Betting that she had to stay the night if I won sure had her competitive side fired up.  I went all wall street though (took her money when she wasn’t looking) and did not only win.  I destroyed her financially and broke her will.  Then, penniless and broken she was forced to spend the night.  That’s right kiddos, I literally weaponized your generations blathering and sputtering exaggerations and definitions of White Male Privilege and used it on a square of cardboard covered with worthless money to ensure that you both blipped into existence.  Had I been wearing skinny jeans and a fedora you both might have been mixed with tears in a woke nightmare universe of stiff gym socks.

So if you ever hear the words said or feel them bubbling up inside… picture putting monopoly away when stow your privileges fills the air.
PS.  You both have played on that board.  I got it when I was 11.
So was all that chance?  Like I let her land on that square.  After the blip though …that’s when things get interesting.  Our gift of life well it’s pretty basic.  The upgrade package though.  It takes only work and curiosity to pay for and it is Unlimited.  Use it I beg.  Don’t be obsolete.
Love you
