A lumberjack walks into a magical forest to chop a tree.
When he went to take a swing at a tree, the tree said:
“Stop! I’m a talking tree!”
The lumberjack smirked and says:
“And you will dialogue.”
tom
Are you practising for something?
Chewie doesn't appreciate being disturbed by my laughter, by the way.
Not that I laughed at that terrible joke.
carol
Well, you know, I’m thinking bout a side hustle.
Chewie only appreciates treats and scratches, and only when it’s convenient.
Must be nice to nap all day and not have to pay bills.
tom
You're going into ironic comedy? Or just gonna stand on a side corner and yell some jokes?
This is exceptionally true. But she also appreciates her bed lying still.
It's totally my day off. I can pretend I'm a cat all day.
carol
Probably just yell some jokes on a corner. Wouldn’t be the strangest thing this place has to offer.
Now you got a point there.
And as luck would have it I’m not going to lead into asking you about work.
But I am going to lead into whether or not you wanna test out those first aid skills of yours on folks who won’t know the difference between a novice or a seasoned triage doc.
tom
With or without clothes? I think that would make the difference.
Thank goodness. You're usually there, so asking about it would likely just sound like you're fishing for compliments.
You're not out finding weirdos wandering the desert or lobotomising people, are you?
I feel like I should point out how unethical that is?
carol
You gonna bail my sunburnt ass outta jail?
If I wanted to fish for compliments I'd point out that we've been working together for a couple months now and you've yet to say anything about my eyelashes.
You know, I use a random citizen as an example once....
But no, the town is safe from random medical practice.
However, there's a sorta... Fight Club.. that's started.
tom
Sure, but I'm taking pictures of it first to post for everyone.
Suns out Buns out.
Jesus, you guys better not be making soap, or I swear Chewie will send you all to her pocket dimension for a weekend and that'll teach you.
But hey, if there's some idiots punching each other, sure. They'll hardly report a poor dressing to anyone.
carol
You better get a tub of aloe for my suburnt ass.
Hard no on the soap.
But it’s some good old fashioned fisticuff fun.
And don’t be so hard on yourself.
Your dressings aren’t so bad.
You don’t have to use the whole roll of gauze each time, but, well, y’know - to each their own.
tom
Kinky, but sure.
Always with the violence.
Maybe I like people looking like a mummy. Ever consider that?
It's practise for halloween.
carol
Better they fight each other for fun than some poor sap out of boredom.
[...]
I’m gonna hold you to that.
If October 31st comes and you’re not dressed as a mummy handing out full bars..
I’m gonna be disappointed.
tom
That is a reasonable outlook.
Thank goodness. You're usually there, so asking about it would likely just sound like you're fishing for compliments.
Honestly, you'll probably be disappointed.
But mostly because I'll forget.
carol
Oh I won’t let you forget.
I’m gonna print out this exchange and put it on your locker.
