Some Monday Repartees

Monday can be a long day, and with an early start this morning, I was in need of some boosters. It helped to have some of the following converstations. To understand the first, you have to know I drove up to Pine County (near Hinckley) for some court work:

Emeric: It's north country. The people up there, they are my people.

Kieran: Dorks?

Emeric: No, North-Woodsers. The Dorks are my constituents. Or peasants. Or whatever it is Kings have these days.

The King still reigns. Afterwards, I was chatting with one of my co-workers. We were walking through the skyway and we saw a sign that advertised a "Philosophy of Dating." It was an amusing notion.

Emeric: I think I'll show up and begin discussing how Plato and Aristotle would disagree on the duality of dating.

Karin: Uh-huh.

Emeric: Sorry, that was a joke that was aimed more at philosophy majors.

Karin: Yeah, I was a philosophy major.

Emeric: Aha. Then it was a joke that was supposed to be aimed at philosophy majors.
