True Story. Believe Me.
A: So, where shall we go today?
B: I was thinking we shouldn’t spend that much money on food today, you know, let’s save some cash for that other thing.
A: You’re totally right. So, you’re thinking burgers, right? That costs what, 10 bucks tops?
B: Yeah, that would be great.
A: Although…
B: Although what?
A: Well, take another 3 bucks and we get 13 and that’s enough for pizza. And what are 3 extra bucks? Pff.
B: That’s a good idea! So, pizza it is–
A: But you know, 13 bucks, that rings a bell. If you add another buck, we can buy a 20-Sushi-Combo from that small place next to the mall.
B; And sushi is good… We haven’t had sushi for three whole days. That’s way too long.
A: Exactly. Except that the small place got kinda sucky. What do you say we go to that new place? We can do it if we add another four bucks.
B: But their combo is like, about fifteen sushis for this price. And that is 7 sushis and a half to each one. And I’m hungrier than that.
A: Well then, forget the sushi. Yakisoba! It feeds two hungry construction workers and it only costs about two or three more bucks. We can do that.
B: I see where this is going.
A: But, wait, don’t interrupt me, if we throw in another four or seven bucks we can get that deluxe barbecue thing you LOVE and– [goes on and on].
And that, Internet, is how you gain a whole lot of weight from being in a relationship. And I’m not even gonna say which one I usually am, A or B.
