Derrick: Hey David, hate to have to be the one to tell you this, but your brother has been having an affair with your wife...and shes pregnant with his child.

David: hmm, this will be a great start to their new relationship. And will allow me plenty of time to focus on various hobbies.

Derrick: A..yeah...are you okay David? I expected a much bigger reaction to the news.

David : Ah, young Derrick, I have recently achieved 'monk status'. I no longer allow petty drama to effect my zen.
