v:
ANYWAY
can i tell you
me:
yes? yes?
v:
i have Figured Out my sourdough
i am very pleased with myself
me:
i am happy for you
but
when you begin a sentence
with ‘can i tell you something’
i was expecting something more earthshattering.v:
let me ask you a question.
me:
SEE. again.
v:
you’ve known me for.. how long now?
20 years of something, correct?
how often have i ever had earthshattering news to relate?
… again what?
me:
that’s what i mean by again.
when you begin with “let me ask you this”
you should have followed with a devastating question
but no, you make some piddling rhetorical point!< BR>
