- You picked up.

- Well, you called.

- I just wanted to hear your voicemail.

- Oh.

- Yea.

- Okay.

- Me too.

- Oh.

- Eh.

- Another shitty day.

- What did you do?

- Everything I was supposed to do.  Nothing I wanted to.

- Then you're a hero.

- I don't feel like one.

- You're not supposed to.

- I want to drink.

- Big deal, I want to drink all the time.  If it was up to me, I'd be at a resort right now.

- But I have money now.

- What stopped you from drinking when you didn't have any?

- Nothing...these people suck. 

- Do you believe in God?

- Yea, but I gotta deal with the weather.

- Come on.

- Well, sometimes, but people get in the way.  They keep bugging me in class.  I was helping this guy pass out the books, and he said, "Give me the little ones," but I absentmindedly started handing him the big books, and he said, "These are the big ones," and I said, "I didn't hear you say the little ones."  But then I realized I was actually repeating the words he had said—so it means I had heard him say little ones.

- You just weren't paying attention at the time.

- And as I was telling him, I realized the smug bastard thought I'm was lying to him!

- What?  You lost me there.  

- I don't know, it's not important.

- Do you remember his name?

- He told me once, but I don't remember.

- You weren't paying attention.

- But I thought I was—I don't know, it's not important.

- Your brain was, but you weren't.  People were bugging me, too.

- What did you do?  Did you tell them to scram?

- Not Today.  I was...I was about to say, Scram!  But then I realized that I wasn't even listening and he still kept on talking.  So I just started laughing.  That's why I asked you about God.

- What does this have to do with God?

- Because he has a wicked sense of humor.

- How do you know?

- I don't.  It just helped me to think that, Today.   I just know that person stopped bugging me.

- Oh, he got angry and shut up?

- No, he kept on talking and went merrily on his way.  It wasn't him that was bothering me.  

- Was it some broad?

- Were you this stupid when I met you?

- Hey!

- And what are you doing standing there—make the coffee!

- What?

- Nothing, messing around.  I'll call you back.

- I'm not going to pick up.

- Thanks.
