Today while smoking my pipe, I caught myself talking to me.
Sure, there have been times when I have smacked my thumb with the hammer and said. “You dumb ass Frank. How many years have you been hammering?” Or like the time I fell off the roof and hurt my shoulder. “You stupid S.O.B. You knew this roof was slippery when wet. Why did you go up there?”
But today was different when I talked to me. The conversation lasted longer. I can repeat verbatim what was said. I was sitting on my front porch. The dialogue began after about 15 minutes into my smoke.
“WOW. This is good stuff.” Sip.
“I can smoke this all day.” Sip.
“It kinda tastes like.” Sip. “Geez. I don’t really know what it tastes like.” Sip.
“That squirreled has been looking this way for 10 minutes.” Sip. “
“Okay. Gotta relight. No problem. There.” Sip.
“Remember Frank. Sip slowly.” Sip.
“Yup. Like that.” Sip.
“Boy, this stuff is really good. You need to buy more.” Sip.
Then I heard my wife yell from inside the house. “Honey, who are you talking to?”
“Just me.” Sip.
“You talk to you more than you talk to me.” My wife insisted.
That was when my conversation with me ended, and I went into the house to chat with my wife.
