Conversation With Craig
“Hi Craig! I see you got a pipe. I’ve been trying to smoke a broken one myself, but I keep burning my thumb.”
“Yeah, I can’t afford cigars till the first when I get paid.”
“Yep, it’s that time of the month. When we’re all out of money and feeling bitchy! Want one of my cigars?”
“Sure, thanks.”
“I still have a little money from my online business, debating whether or not to get a haircut from Cindy.”
“Is Cindy your barber?”
“No, she works at a salon. She’s a friend of mine, so she cuts my hair and trims my beard for me real cheap.”
“Is Cindy married or single?”
“She’s single.”
“Does she have a boyfriend?”
“No, I don’t think so.”
“Then she’s open territory for you.”
“No, not every woman’s open territory for me. I have no car, no regular job, still waiting to get my Obama phone… For me, getting lucky is literally getting lucky!”
“Yeah, you can’t win them all! Do you know what we’re having for dinner tonight?”
“No.”
“I hope its spaghetti!”
“I bought a pack of Ding Dongs last night, if you want me to share them with you Craig.”
“Sure, that’d be great. It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?”
“Yes, Craig, it is!”
