excuse me

by bofa xesjum

excuse me. you are excused. excuse me? what part of you are excused do you do not understand? i have always understood the phrase excuse me to represent the civilized way of initiating a conversation with an entity not personally known to oneself. but once upon a time it had a different meaning. this is not once upon a time. this is now. unfortunately. what is unfortunate about it? it is the soulless modern world, and not the good old days. there were no good old days. were so, were not. were so. i have had enough of this. what are you going to do about it? i am going to terminate this idiotic conversation. what is idiotic about it? i seem to be talking to an idiot. now you have crossed a line. i demand to know your name so that i can initiate personal proceedings against you. my name is tod ingleby. are you the tod ingleby who won the city-55 lottery 6 years ago? no, that was a different tod ingleby. there are a lot of tod ingebys in the world. my serial number is 496732-t-765. my name is bob yark. and i am not the bob yark who produced and directed the widely heralded revival of my friend sadie in amsterdam in 89. there are a lot of bob yarks in the world too. my serial number is 643297-p-423. my representative will contact your representative. i am sorry we could not have encountered each other under more auspicious circumstances. i do not think so. i think so, and that is what counts. nothing counts. that is what they all say.
