too bad. let’s move on. to cindy. and bob jones.

all right.

cindy dumped our friend bill for bob jones, right?

right.

i see you are learning to confine your responses to the minimum of required information. one more question about bill - did he have a last name?

bailey.

as in, bill bailey, won’t you please come home?

i guess. bill bailey, that was his name.

did anybody care if he came home?

not so far as know. or even if he had a home.

there you go again, volunteering information when it was not asked for.

well, i did not volunteer the information that bill was black, and you got on my case for that. so i guess i can’t win.

guess all you want , my friend, i, not you, am the deputy administrator of intersectionality for social balance, and i will decide if you win or lose.

fair enough.

so bill’s full name was bill bailey.

yes.

did his mother or anyone else call him william?

i do not know.

all right, back to cindy and bob jones.

cindy and bob jones, i’m on it. at your service, mister deputy administrator.

dod bob reciprocate cindy’s interest?

no, he did not.

really? that is interesting. why not?

bob could have his pick of all the women in town. he was what used to be called an alpha male.

used to be is right. the term is a remnant of patriarchy, and not recognized by the department of intersectionality for social balance.

just like i said. do i get a point for that?

there are no points here. just answer the questions.

i am trying.

how was bob jones fixed for cash?

very well. he had enough money to burn a wet mule. if you had his money, you would burn yours.

i suppose you think that was the reason cindy was attracted to him, and got rid of poor bill bailey.

i did not say that. you are putting words in my mouth, mister deputy administrator.

so how did cindy handle her rejection by bob jones?

not very well, apparently.

how apparently? <
