1: funny noise the faucet just made don't you think dear
2: what do you mean by that Roland
1: well for the last two weeks it has been going drip drop or drop drip or sometimes drop
drop, but it just made the sound plink plop. How do you account for that?
2: well I suppose it just got bored dear
1: bored, how could a water faucet get bored?
2: well just suppose for the moment that you are a water faucet
1: but I'm not a water faucet
2: that's an astute observation dear but hypothetically you are a water faucet
1: ok I am a water faucet
2: now as a water faucet are you thinking?
1: why of course I'm bloody well thinking
2: what are you thinking?
1: thoughts
2: thoughts?
1: yes rather water faucety ones I'm afraid
2: now you are a water faucet that has been going drip drop drop drip or sometimes drop
drop for about two weeks now
1: how bloody boring
2: yes quite
1: I think I understand the plink plop now
2: that's very nice dear
1: well don't you think it needs some help?
2: no I think its plinking and plopping very nicely on its own
1: well I think that's mean
2: what's mean?
1: well if I were a water faucet
2: but you're not a water faucet
1: well if hypothetically I were a water faucet and got bored going drip drop drop drip
and sometimes drop drop and all of a sudden decided to go plink plop and the people
who were listening thought that I didn't need help that's the sort of thing I'd find
bloody mean
2: so you think this is a cry for help
1: yes I bloody well do
2: what about taking it to a therapist
1: I suppose it could work
2: I wonder what kind of therapists water faucets like
1: well just suppose you were a water faucet
2: but I'm not a water faucet
1: but suppose that hypothetically you were a water faucet….
