A Su-eet Story
He and She were sitting at the dinner table. She was dissecting a sparerib …
She: “This is a pretty poor cut of meat!”
He: “Y’think so, love? From over here, it looks like that pig was living pretty high off the hog.”
She: “It was a cannibal?”
He: “I don’t reckon this beast ever ate anything out of a can. But I’ll tell you this. If it had been a can-can-ibal, it might be leaner.”
She: “But I don’t want it to be leaner!”
He: “What?”
She: “Pigs are heavy! I don’t want one leaning on me!”
He: “Riiight. See if you can stand up straight after doing a can-can.”
She: “Hmphf. I don’t do the can thing. I do all my cooking from scratch.”

Doug — so you’ve never laughed until your sides hurt?
You and Amoeba must have incredible dinner time conversations.

Do you two really have these conversations?! Y’all crack me up.

Musings and Mocha, the genesis of these dialogues usually is a real conversation. Some editing and embellishment does occur, to be sure, before it hits the blog. Every once in awhile, a “conversation” does sneak in that was entirely invented.
I never sneak in anything that isn’t based on truth and I never embellish more than a word or too. Amoeba is much more liberal in his storytelling, however, I stand by the motto that one should never spoil a good story for the sake of truth.
Please note that story and answering direct questions are not interchangeable.
