Magic Shake-Ball



Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

If I can't have it all, how about just most of it? Some? A little bit, but also HBO? How about almost nothing, but a week at a spa?

Answer:

"Gertrude, do not drink." (Hamlet 5.2.273)

Interpretation:

Great. You took me right to the ultimate Shakespearean moment of maternal sacrifice: Gertrude taking the poison meant for her son. I'm guessing this means I don't get the week at the spa. Or the cable.
