Chit Chat 6

[Yorick]

You're telling me! If I was the secretary of doctorial affairs, they'd be selling insurance to the fleas on my back.

[Kzin]

Now I'm wondering how to issue a insurance policy to a flea. I guess the fleas would get a collective insurance, like all fleas on one dog must agree to sign up with the same insurance company. I smell trouble there.

[Yorick]

That's true. If this theoretical dog--or any other medium-small canine that just so happens to have small flea problems on his off days--were to stay in one general place, the fleas might not have a lot of policy options. I may not like fleas, but even they deserve not to be manhandled by unitary corporation fondoogling.


Then again... fleas don't get insurance, and neither do foxes, so speaking in strictly practical terms, we're still sitting outside of square-one's house and daring one another to knock on its door.

[Kzin]

Maybe no one will ever knock but just use the catflap to sneak into the house. Hm, I better get a chip controlled catflap. soon or I will be overwhelmed by fleas.

[Yorick]

Sorry for the delay. I think all that hypnozoombabalyblahblahblahwhateveritwas caught up with me. I slept clear through three days! Nearly slept through my own yearly mark of becoming that much older day too, but I smelled cake.

[Kzin]

Hooray glad you smelled the cake at welping day. But to be honest what is time to a Fox?

[Yorick]

A currency best spent with friends.

[Kzin]

So true and good that one can spend it and will always still have enough.

[Yorick]

Enough for a midnight snack, anyway.

[Kzin]

Hmm, at the moemnt I would call it a lunch snack.

[Yorick]

How about the grand annual mid-laughternoon brunchathon?

[Kzin]

Splendid idea. I will set the table. Make sure you're not late. Tea or coffee?

[Yorick]

Milk tea with lots of boba. Doesn't the table have to get on its mark before it gets set though?

[Kzin]

I marked the table the day it started growing on the tree. You never can mark a table to early. Milk tea it shall be. Not sure if I can squeeze Boba into it. He has been actin weird lately.

[Yorick]

Well... I'll take or leave the boba then...

Sorry about all the ellipses...

In a bit of a funk...

Think it happened when we were talking about tables...

I think I'm stuck under one now...

A glass table...

And I'm underneath...

Every time I try to look up, I'm always seeing the downside...

Of everything...

But don't worry...

It'll pass...

I just have to remember...

Where I came in...
