Problem: just a week before we are supposed to go to the bank and make an offer on a nice office . And then tonight I get a nice little phone call from him ... he 's really sorry , but he has to back out of the deal and to top it off he 's not even coming back ... why ? He knocked up his stupid fucking girlfriend !

Why is the narrator out on a major deal ?

A: The buyer reneged .

Problem: The lottery only had one number . Brett Favre 's number - 4 . Megamillions was 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 every night . Problem was after dividing the money with everyone else who won , ya got like $ 1 back , which was equal to about 4 Favrollars at the current exchange rate . In the United Favres of Favre , you got to retire at age 38 which seemed way cool , but then you had to unretire 2 weeks later then re - retire and unretire again .

Why does retiring at 38 seem cool to you ?

A: Retiring at age 38 seems cool because it gives you a lot of free time .

Problem: My old boss from Aero Systems called to wish me HB as well . ( His birthday is the day before mine so he always remembers to call . ) . Aside from people I know getting in touch , there are what I call fringe people who sent cards or called . My profile on Facebook wished me HB , a consumer opinion company sent an email , my dentist and insurance agent sent cards , and the Chevy dealer where I bought my car 15 months ago left a message on my phone . It 's been a great day and it 's great to have a feel good week .

Why did the writer 's old boss call to wish happy birthday ?

A:
Because he is a thoughtful person .
