A drabble-and-a-half. Maybe I should ease up a little on the Roseanne reruns.
The top news story that evening had something to do with gay rights. Dan, who had years ago perfected the art of watching the news without allowing himself to become informed, wasn't really paying attention until David said:
"What do you think of that kind of stuff, Mr Conner?"
Dan glanced at David, who was staring intently at the television.
"Live and let live, David. I have better things to worry about."
"I think it's pathetic." David didn’t look at Dan as he talked. "I mean, it's so obvious that these guys just can't get women. I mean, you and I both know that guys'll do anything when they can't get a girl."
"Fact?"
"Fact."
"Uh-huh." Dan took a swig from his beer can and paused just long enough to let David think he'd gotten away with something before asking, "And exactly what did you do before Darlene?"
". . . that's not the point here."
"Right."
