Conversations with Paul

Him - "*moan* My stomach is all kafka"

Me - "Your stomach is kafka?"

Him - "Yuh"

Me - "What?"

Him - "You know, its all upset and stuff"

Me - "Why does that make it kafka"

Him - "I dunno, its just a word"

Me - "Wull, its not just a word, its the name of a philosopher guy. You're so weird"

Him - "Seriously?"

Me - "Yuh (googling), he was a Czech born, German speaking author and philosopher type dude, he wrote that book The Metamorphosis, you know?"

Him - "Never heard of it"

Me - "Oh, well, I've never read it, but its about a guy who wakes up in the morning and discovers that he has turned into a giant bug"

Him - "(pause) but I'm weird."
