“It seemed that no matter where you went she was right behind you with her vacuum nudging your feet up or sucking up a small critical piece of a toy you’d been playing with. Then came the cursing for clogging up the vacuum, and now she was going to have to turn it off, lay it down on its side and try to fix the bloody thing, you can never have anything nice with kids around and you really need a man to fix things like the vacuum, especially when it made that awful burnt rubber smell.”

“The best job to get was as a doctor, at $45,000 a year. The worst was a teacher, at $17,000. If there was any disparity in salary between players, the game was over at the beginning: it didn’t take an extra eye to see that a doctor could whoop ass on a teacher. So we massaged the rules a bit: Why not both be doctors? How easy! How fair! That way whoever won did so by a slim margin of money and/or plastic children pegs in the car-shaped game pieces. Little did we know we’d reinvented Communism”
