* * * * * Notes about an overheard conversation while driving home “Why the convoluted way home?” “Are you driving?” “No. I'm just curious.” “Because you told me to go around.” “I told you to get into the other lane to go around the bus!” “No, you just told me to go around.” “The bus.” “Around. Besides, this way, I don't have to take a left turn.” “Pththththththth.” “Argument of last resort, I see.” Email author at sean@conman.org .
