"Well, I was walking around the carnival here, and I came across a fortune-telling machine..."
"You mean like the one in the movie Big?"
"Yeah, pretty much. I put my quarter in and it said I could make a wish. And I was looking at the thing and thinking how nice it was. People come up to it and give it money. They ask for things, but it just gives them a little pre-printed card and they walk away happy. Not like my job, where I have to run the paper, make sure everything is in place and working smoothly, and deal with everyone's problems on top of it. And then try to find time to be with Alice, too... So I'm looking at the machine, and I say, 'I wish my life was more like yours.' Next thing I know... *poof!* I'm dressed like this!"
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
