Repartee
A couple of SUNY whipper-snappers pull up at the light just as I’m snapping into an organic banana.
“Yeah, yeah! Eat that banana!” they holler at me.
I roll down the window. “Don’t you wish you had one too?” I call back.
There’s a stunned silence. I guess they didn’t expect me to reply, because for all the swagger in their voices a second ago, them seem to be a little sheepish now, not knowing what to say.
Emboldened, I continue: “Then all three of us could be sittin’ here, eatin’ bananas together!!!”
Now they’re really at a loss for words!
