(John types at his computer. A thick haze hovers over Everycity as the traffic belches hot, toxic fumes into the brisk fall air)
Ground: ...John...?
(John doesn't hear the call of the Ground at first)
Ground: ...John? John, it's me!
John: Huh? Whu--oh. Hello, Ground.
Ground: Nice day, n'est-ce pas?
John: Yeah, it's--hey. I didn't know you knew French.
Ground: I look awfully inviting today, don't I, John?
John: I don't know. I haven't looked recently.
Ground: Aww...now that just hurts my feelings. And after I gussied myself up and everything.
John: "Gussied"?
Ground: What's happening at work today, John? You look a little forlorn.
John: Oh...a lot of crap. And it's not even work related.
Ground: Consuela isn't bothering you?
John: No.
Ground: And Jerrie isn't bothering you?
John: No.
Ground: So what's is bothering you?
John: Well...(John tells the Ground all)...and I kind of feel like--I don't know. Like I want to sleep the sleep of death right now.
Ground: That's very interesting. Since you have nothing to live for, why don't you throw yourself out the window? It's a nice day for it.
John: I didn't say I didn't have anything to live for. Besides, I enjoy the view from the 42nd floor. I mean, things feel sorta bleak right now but it's nothing I can't deal with.
Ground: Someone might give you a cocker spaniel.
John: (thinks it over) I'll be right there.
(he runs at the window)
Window: Don't even think about it!
Ground: Aw nuts. Foiled again.

That window is a serious foiler. How do you deal with it?
I mean...how does JOHN deal with it? Not you. Obviously.
haha. Brilliant... I too would throw myself far from a window if faced with cocker spaniels
I would throw the cocker spaniels out of he window, that would be way more fun....
However my friend from previous posts we have discussed having not one, but 2 of these beastly dogs, is now going to let me borrow the animals for no other reason that getting dates. Though they may be dastardly and sickly, girls still think they are cute, only one or two hours I can put up with the beasts that long in order to score a hot date.
Bastard people.
scottlovesjesus,
That's IT! All this name calling is uncalled for!! I must object! We might be people, yes, but BASTARD people...i'm just not so sure about that.
