“Because you won’t stop asking me silly questions.”

“Hmm. I am here to help you.”

“Help me?”

“Yeah, you know what, Mr. Ding Dong is starting a crash course to help us enhance our life. I had already registered. You should join too.”

“What crash course?”

“It’s called ‘Wake Up At 5:00 AM Crash Course’.”

“It’s a scam to fool mentally lazy people like you.”

“Why is it a scam?”

“First of all, there is no such thing as 5:00 AM.”

“What do you mean?”

“Yeah, there is midnight and then 10:00 AM, and the rest of it. There is no 5:00 AM. Get over your high and wake up to reality.”

“Huh?”
