Right, I say smugly.
You've all forced me to do the unthinkable. I'm about to relate to you the most boring conversation I ever had the misfortunate to be a part of. It ended a friendship. No anger, rancor. Just bored it apart.
My friend was newly married. I was invited to dinner. Her husband was, IMO, on the dull side. Following was his conversation as best I remember it.
The cat had five kittens. The cat's name was Maribell. She had the five kittens. The first one was white with orange and black markings. Well, not so much black as a kind of dark brown, and the orange was really more a rust color. This kitten, what was it's name? Louise? Lucille? Laurie? It had blue eyes and one orange paw. Let me see. Was it the right front or the left front? No, the name was Louisa. One of the front paws was orange. Well, the rust color actually. Was it the right paw or the left paw?
(Me: It doesn't really matter.)
The right or the left? (Pause). Yes, it was definitely the left. (Pause) Or was it the right?
To be continued.
