Girl talk, at work, during lunch
November 29, 2007

"So, anyway, they found this huge squid at the bottom of the ocean and it was massive.  I guess this means that whales are no longer the biggest mammals.”

“What?”

“Well, if this thing is several feet larger, sorry whales!”

“Uh, aren’t squids mollusks or something?  Cephalopods.  Yeah, cephalobods.  Or, wait, cephalopods are mollusks . . .”

“You’re always trying to look so smart, Adrienne.  I’m pretty sure squids are mammals.”

“Oh, yeah, right.  The tiny squid babies attach to the squid mamas and suckle from squid teats.  Mmmm, oceanic, pressurized milk.”

“Suckle?  Shut up!  You always try to win these arguments by making words up.”

“Yeah.  You’re right.  Sorry.”
