From an online chat with my friend, William:
William: My wife is trying to think of present ideas for the kids. I suggested an air hocky table. She said ‘No’
Chris: Why not?
William: I don’t ask why anymore dude, it doesn’t matter

I was sitting in a public bookstore/cafe (as opposed to a private bookstore/cafe) while having this online conversation with William.

Ignoring every cautionary voice in my head, I started laughing out loud — causing a nearby patron to get up and leave. Which I found hilarious, making it even harder to be a responsible member of society. I apologize to everyone involved.
