Tomato Dialogues

September 20, 2004 - 2:10pm

J: “I hate tomatoes.”
W: “Really? I hate tomatoes too but I like ketchup.”
J: “You people that only like one or the other are the real weirdos.”
W: “Ketchup and tomatoes are not the same.”
J: “I hate all things tomato-e. They are both in the tomato family.”
W: “But you can like one and not the other. It's like liking steaks but not—”
J: “—Hamburgers?”
W: “—no—like a steak all mashed up and ground into a paste. Like a steak shake.”
J: “There's no such thing.”
W: “Because no one likes it!”
J: “But there are people who like ketchup! That's a false analogy because steak shakes don't exist!”
W: “It makes sense.”
J: “No it doesn't. You need to come up with a better analogy your analogy sucks.”

Pause.

W: “Shut up.” (Puts on headphones to block out laughter).

I like tomatoes. I just ate one. I ate one last night, too. So did Allison.

That was funny. I needed that. My day's been hectic and I needed a laughter break.

My analogies do not suck! (not usually) And it's tomatoes I like. Ketchup is the one that sucks.

Dah, I like tomatoes some times, like fried green ones, and I like ketchup, but I can't stand anyother tomatoes. They're too acidic, and they don't have a taste! They're just water, except when they're fried. Ooh, I made myself hungry!

Dammit! I typed it that way first and totally second guessed myself. Well, that only makes the analogy better in the way that Wesley is for the steak and not the NON-EXISTENT steak shake. :)
