Coffee and Conversation

"She asked me if I smoked, you know smoke smoked and told me that she would love to but it's against her religion. So I had to ask what religion that was, except the religions that are against breaking the law. I mean, really-what religion DOESN'T speak out against smoking pot?"
"Well, the Rastafarians of course. They support it and some of the Native kind of tribal religions encourage drug use in order to gain access to the spirits. And if you want to get deeper..."
"I knew you'd have an answer to that question."
"Yes, well, my hobby is to have just enough information on any religion to have a surface conversation."

"Have you heard from yr sister?"
"No, I'm just being relaxed and groovy. I pretty much expect her to show up at my door like Balki on Perfect Strangers, holding a suitcase and yelling-Cuzeeen!"

"But then, how can I get offended when they call each other gay when I speak regularly of my faggy little dog who may just be a transvestite, which doesn't mean gay, cuz transvestites fancy girls."
"WHO would ever suspect yr dog of being faggy?"
"I know!"
"Or a transvestite?!"
"I know!"
"Unless they've seen him in his sweater. Then they might wonder."
"Yeh, well, there's that."

There's big fun at the Eddie Izzard Blather board if yr into pointless fighting and stupidity. I will, of course, read it as long as the conversation continues.
