I sat down to start my lunch break today and suddenly I got an unexpected call.  This is the conversation that followed:
Me: Hello?
Nature: Hey, it's me.  Look,  you gotta go, and you gotta go NOW.
Me: What?  I just sat down to eat.
Nature:  That doesn't matter.  It's time.
Me: But I just heated up my pizza and it's all hot and ready for consumption.
Nature: You'll have to come back to it.
Me: But then it will get cold.
Nature: You can re-heat it.
Me: It's already a microwaved pizza.  Re-heating a microwavable pizza is like getting sloppy seconds on a cheap hooker.  You weren't proud of it in the first place, but now it's just gross.
Nature: Look, we don't really have time to argue about this.  One way or another this is going to happen.  The only question you have to answer is your place or mine?
Me:  Can't you hold it off?  I'll finish eating, and then you'll have more to work with.
Nature:  That's the point, you can't take anymore.  You've reached the limit.
Me: Well, can't I get an extension?  I just need a little more time.
Nature:  Who do you think I am?  Think I'm new at this?  When it's time, it is time!
Me: I could have used a little more warning.  It would have been nice to have taken care of this before lunch.
Nature: I've been leaving you messages all morning, but you've been ignoring me.
Me: I've been busy.
Nature: I don't care how busy you are.  When I call, you answer!
Me: How do I know this isn't another one of your prank calls?  I answered your call the other day and was on the line for 10 minutes and NOTHING happened!
Nature:  Oh yeah, that was pretty funny.  You just kept waiting.
Me: Glad you thought it was so hilarious.  My legs almost went completely numb.
Nature: Well, I'm sorry about that, but this time it's real.  And it's now.
Me: Fine!
