A:
I got dibs if the two hot ones come over.
B:
No way, dude. It's whoever makes eye contact first, always.
A:
Nope, I called 'em.
B:
What do you care? You're married.
A:
It's not like I'm going to invite them out for drinks afterwards or anything. I just want to talk to them.
B:
But why? Why do you care?
A:
I thought it was kind of accepted that talking to attractive people was inherently pleasurable.
B:
No, that's not accepted at all. It's only pleasurable because there is the potential for more. If there is no potential, like if you're MARRIED, then it's not inherently pleasurable. They may as well be another dude; there's whatever conversational pleasure is there, but there's no modifiers or anything.
A:
No way.
B:
It'd be like talking to John the Baptist if you knew Jesus didn't exist. If there's no chance of Jesus coming later, you have no reason to talk to John. Just send him back to the desert.
A:
Then why do you want to talk to them?
B:
Well, there's a Jesus for me. Or at least the potential of Jesus. That's why I like talking to John.
A:
I think this metaphor is taking a turn for the heretical. Somewhere, Jesus is rolling over in his empty tomb!
B:
Wah wah.
Tom:
Bring me the head of John the Baptist!
A:
I don't think that makes any sense here, Tom.
Tom:
Yeah, I wasn't really paying attention to what you guys were saying. I was keeping an eye out for those two hot ones.
