Cheeseburger Guy

English discussion.

My teacher puts up a picture of two college guys. They are on the beach and holding up fish.

She receives many blank stares.

Prompt: Pair up. Write a dialogue between these two people.

So what do you get when you pair up a very conservative girl and the smart-ass of the class?

A very entertaining class discussion.

Each took the point of view of one of the fish-holding “dudes”, and then switched off talking to one another…

Smart-ass: Dude. You want another smoke?

Conservative: Um. No thanks. I quit.

Smart-ass: What do you mean you quit?

Conservative: I mean, I don’t smoke.

Smart-ass: I don’t think you understand. I asked if you want another smoke. As in, you’ve already been smoking. Did you just decide to quit mid-smoke?

Conservative: It’s bad for my health.

Smart-ass: No, no, no. You can’t do that! That’s like eating a cheeseburger, stopping halfway and saying “I quit cheeseburger.”

Conservative: So?

Smart-ass: So? So! YOU CAN’T QUIT CHEESEBURGER!

Words of wisdom, my friend.
