The Discussion

The other day I sat down with Rory Kelly in a Star Bucks to ask him a few questions. The following dialogue ensued.

“So Rory, I see you wear boxes now.” I stated as we sat down with our high class beverages.

“Yeah, it’s a thing I do now... boxes breathe better than standard wear.” He replied.

“At times I question your sanity Rory, this might be one of those times. I mean... spheres are much shapely.” I suggested.

“That’s a lie Clint... and you know it.” Said Rory as he burned his tongue on the coffee and spilt a bit on his box.

“Nah, think of it this way. People are typically called squares because they don’t go to parties. So, because spheres are the opposite of squares they must be all about the party, also there would be more wind resistance. That is not something you want when walking against the wind.” I explained, smiling at his coffee stained box shirt.

“Maybe I was not going for functionality, maybe I had an interview for a new job at a law firm. Law firms are not looking for a party, they are looking for a sharp dressed man. Everyone knows squares have sharp corners.” Said Rory as he wiped his box shirt with a wet nap.

“Man, everyone loves a little party, especially the lawyers.” I declared.

“What do you know about lawyers? You are not one nor do you know one!” Rory argued

“I know you and you are a lawyer.” I said.

That's where I will have to end the account of that discussion. I am hungry and food awaits.
