It was Scrooge's ghost, lifting weights in the exercise room. Scrooge looked terrific. He said the afterlife was a blast. "You get to fly around and look in people's windows and--wowsa, the stuff you find out. Like Fred--he is a raging alcoholic. And the boy who ran to the poulterer's and bought me the goose? He has a boyfriend. Yikes!"

from Garrison Keillor: Chicago Tribune: Listen up, dear readers
