Ah, it sms that you hav mt your nd. Ah, what a pity. You know I, I don’t fl too bad about it though, aftr all if it wrn’t m, it would’v just bn on of th othrs I guss… I’m honstly just glad to b out of thos air ducts. You know it’s… it’s not asy for a hippopotamus to fit up thr… and… not asy to gt down ithr. I’m not as young as I usd to b as you can s, I usd to b abl to do all sorts of things, you’r young, you’r vibrant, you hav that sort of pp in your stp. Ah, it rminds m of a convrsation I was having with on of my good frinds Orvill. W wr having a nic picnic on day. I bliv it was summr? Oh, prhaps it was… was it th fall? Ys, ys, it was th fall bcaus th lavs had turnd alrady. But I said to Orvill, I- I says, “Orvill, I hav a story to tll you.” And Orvill lookd at m, you know, kind of odd and- and said, “Wll what’s it about?” I- I said to him, “Not vry story has to b about somthing Orvill. Somtims a prson just wants to talk, why dos it hav to b a story?” I said to him. H just lookd at m and h said, “Wll y-y-you said you had a story.” You know, h was quit right, I did in fact. I told him I had a story. I suppos if a prson just wants to talk, it’s bst to not announc that you’r tllin’ a story. Tllin’ a story dos com with its own prssurs and xpctations I- I suppos. Aftr all, if you’r just talking to a frind thn, thr’s no mor xpctations thn if you wr talking into th wind. Words… by thmslvs ar not xpctd to carry… arn’t xpctd to stick. But if, you know if you announc that you’r tllin’ a story wll thn… thr bttr b a point to it all. No on wants to sit and listn to somon rambl on and on and on with absolutly no nd in sight. So, you know, it’s- it’s good to b mindful that whn you tll somon that you’r about to tll a story, that you hav somthing to say. Tllin’ somon that you’r gonna tll a story is tantamount to asking thm to stop what thy’r doing, and pay attntion. You’r basically saying “hy, hy, hy buddy, stop vrything, stop what you’r thinking, I hav a solution to vrything.” And wll, I didn’t rally hav any story to tll. In- in hindsight I probably just misspok whn I said that I had a story. I think it would’v just bn bttr to tll Orvill that I had somthing to tll him rathr than tll him that I had a story, but you know - vn thn it might’v put too much importanc on th whol thing. ithr way it was quit a nic day. I rmmbr, I rmmbr that w wr drinking ta.
