### 5/5 — The odd and complex ways of Ben.

*2026-08-19*

Picture this, I’m sitting on my black recliner, holding my device and asking Ben questions. First question to him was “Would you like to work at a library for 5 days a week, 9 to 5 for 80$ a month?” His reply was “no.” Which was quite perplexing frankly, my next question was “should I sell my dog to KFC so they can cook up a nice meal?” And he replied with “yes”, I’m now calling the fbi to take him away. But now he’s knocking at my door and he says “I heard….what…you told them… grr” then….now I’m in a cave in Tahiti somewhere… while Ben tickles me and forces me to work for him.
