Conversations with the Cable Guy

I like decontextualizing conversational snippets. I think they're more fun that way.

Cable Guy: (nervously, looking up at the ceiling) "Um, there's a wasp or a hornet or something in your house."

Me: (dismissively) "It's okay, the cat will take care of it."

. . .

Cable Guy: (conversationally) "Yeah, I lived in Arizona for a while and I could handle that heat 'cause it's dry. Of course, they say that this kind of weather here is better for your skin. If you live in a dry heat place it just (sucking noise) makes you old before your time."

. . .

Cable Guy: "My wife's sister -- cute little perky blonde -- married some guy in California whose dad is the king or something of some island in Hawaii."
