Awesome Super Exciting Man Silences Critic
It's always nice chatting with old friends. More so if you haven't spoken for some time. And so it was when I spoke with Curly[1] the other night. Amid exchanging pleasantries, reminiscing of the good ol' days, and discussing the ethics of sophistry, I decided to take a potshot at his newly acquired corpulence.
"You, old chum, are fat ", I told him.
"Oh, that's all right", he replied. "For you, mate, are boring".
"What! Me, boring? How could you even insinuate such canard. Even the mere thought is preposterous. Me -- the sheer epitome of brinksmanship, the man who once single-handedly recounted the seventeen different types of grain in his diet -- boring? To claim that I am boring is like saying a quadrilateral is non-Euclidean. Like saying that a quasar is a dwarf planet. Like, ummm... who was that guy with the pot... pay-meth-something, Epimetheus, yes. It's like saying that Epimetheus was a genius. It is, in fact, the very opposite of a tautology. It is a fallacy. Yes, that's what it is. A fallacy."
Curly sounded unapologetic. "I'm sorry. You were saying something? I must have nodded off."
People can be so insensitive at times. Especially fat people.

You might be boring, but you have an amazing sense of humor and great writing skills. I am sorry dude if I hurt yor feelings.
Are you mocking me again, fat man? I'm warning you, the retribution next time will be nothing short of brutal. I might even write a poem.
A poem - like " J shuffles his pen"! - now thats what I call a real threat... :)
Raoul dropped some words
from way up high,
and it bounced all over the place;
Some of them were interesting,
and some made people sigh,
and others had them in a daze;
Some pondered - or didn't
but still did reply,
And they did me amaze;
For never did I think
There was any braver than I,
To step in Raouli's wordy maze!!!
