Bill: Big games today!
Me: Oh, my. Are you ready?
(Subtext: Have you been practicing?)
Bill: So, who do you pick for the Super Bowl?
Me: Well, what are my choices?
Bill: Well, there's New England at Denver and San Francisco at Seattle.
Me: ok...
Bill: (something I can't remember about two quarterbacks)
Me: Right. And John Elway is NOT playing, you say?
(Subtext: I would have voted for him.)
Bill: Well, no. By virtue of having been retired for ten years, he is not going to play. He's going to sit this one out.
Me: OK, which of those guys did I feel like looked less full of himself?
Bill: You said that about Peyton Manning.
(Subtext: I disagree with your choice.)
Me: And who is he with?
Bill: (sighs) Denver.
Me: Well then, I think Denver vs. Seattle.
Gamblers: take your places! There will be TV on today!
