I ran internal diagnostics. My ping came back “foot status: back online.” I wondered what the bricks my foot was doing online. What did it need internet for?

“Shall I add the rug on?”
“You can leave a tip for that if you wish.”
I paid up. “I hope to never see you again.”
“Don’t call me on a weekend.” He said, and I left.
