After-Party Pillow Talk

Frank: [Recalling events at a party the night before, especially the parts that would cause him to say...] 

"You should have seen the look on his/her face when you said/did..." (such and such...)

TNL: "FRANK!  Not everyone wants to be awake at 5am on Saturday!  Stop stimulating the verbal part of my brain!"

A minute later...

TNL: "SHHHH!! ....hahahahaha!"

Frank: "What?"

TNL: "I just wanted to see if it would be funny to say 'SHHHH!' Really loud when the room got quiet."

"And it was."

A minute later...

TNL: "What was that?"

Frank: "What?"

TNL: "That car." (Frank can tell what kind of car it is by the sound of the engine.) "Is that a Ferrari?"

Frank: "No way, that car doesn't have a catalytic converter ...Ferraris have those...Ferraris have a distinct sound they tried to patent once.  That sound was a (some muscle car name I don't remember) from 19-(somethin' somethin'.)"

TNL: "Oh... ok.  Let's stop stimulating the verbal parts and go back to sleep."

Frank: "I thought that's what you were trying to do like 5 minutes ago."

A minute later...

TNL: "SHHHH!  Hahahahahaha!"

Frank: "Why are you laughing?"

TNL: "'SHHHH!' Is so funny when it's already quiet... now my steak is floating."

Frank "What!?"

TNL: "The steak from last night... it was still sitting there in my stomach. But before it was just leaning against the side, and then I drank a bunch of water, and now the steak has set sail. Shit. Do we have Tums?"

Frank: "Do you think it could have been the left-over pizza crust dipped in garlic butter that you ate right before you got into bed?"

TNL: "I did?  Oh.  Well that would make more sense since pizza is more sail-shaped... I'm going to take a nap now."

Frank: "A nap?"

TNL: "Yeah.  Since we've been up so long now stimulating the verbal parts of our brain it's more like starting all over."

Frank: (snoring...)

TNL: (to self... "falling back to sleep is so much easier when you're not believing it will be difficult.")
