Yep. More bees.

This conversation played out mostly word for word with my one-and-a-half-handed friend, Rick. I say mostly because I have no recollection of the actual insult he volleyed my way. In fact, I’m quite sure I never heard it at all. When I sensed an aspersion approaching, I mentally constructed my retort and ignored the rest. Top shelf cleverness requires focus, leaving little attention to spare for my interlocutor. Later, when I informed Rick of the soon-to-be comic, he demanded to know what insult we had used instead. His response: “I’ve been called that before.” Touche.

Nipples Out,
