q: why is that?

q: why?
a: well, i’d like to pick his brain. and he’s dead, so the ghost angle would be sort of interesting.
i feel like i handled the situation pretty well. i’m wearing a dishrag tie again.
if you really said all that, i think we can safely say you’ve got the job. let me be the first to congratulate you. faggot.
a lot of that was trite and/or drivel.
the thing about a bar that has a lending library is incredibly funny.
