embracing their pseudointellectualism they argued plausible versus probable

                                                                                   which he

the more humane of the two

                             buddys EQ EI EIEIO  he couldnt help himself his emotional quotient emotional intelligence were in the toilet

so he argued vociferously for plausible over probabble

                                                         Probabble  You following me

You're agreeing with me, probabl . .

. . If its spelled P  R  O  B  A  B  B  L  E  two Bs

I don’t.

You agree tha probabble is based on cold hard data  AI generated for whaya assume is the best outcome

     Albeit prejudiced

It's not.

Is Coders are inherentlyas is anyone informed by their prejudices

                                                                          Theyre fallible human beings

I disagree.

Of course you do   Fractions

                                Ever met a fractional human being

Mathematical probabbilities  Percentages

                                             Ever met a percentile person

American families average twopointfive children which suggests to me that the pointfive child is a retard

Probabbly

              Now

Plausible is humane

                      Coud happen  Given the bounds of uncertainty  Versus  likely  by statistics are going to happen

Id think given your fervour an continual upset with me youd be hard at play in Vegas or some casino somewhere flexing your probabbilities

    Excuse me

It sounds like you’re slighting them.

Ohno  not at all

                    I meant it as a matter of fact   Honestly

If thas wha they preferthey enjoy  arent put up to it

                                                         Ive no judgment

Put up to it?

                                                   If Ive said it once Ive said it dozens of times

You sounded judgmental.

Kiddo  Know me to be judgmental

No.  I do not.

                 Your tone, maybe your tone surprised me.

Perhaps my words rather than my tone

    Maybe

              Or maybe I’m harboring ill will . . being defensive for you.

I really don’t understand.

Nothing to understand

                         Let me cop my daughters line which I do not care for

It is what it is

                  However I appreciate you asking rather than letting it stir you saying nothing  let it fester

I try to imagine if I had grandchildren . .

All you have is an opinion

Were not prone to opinions

No.  We’re not.

Your friends, how many grandchildren?

Three  Eight   And they readily take them in

                                                   Literally at the drop of a hat

Raising your children you did not have that?

No  We were at a remove though we woudnt have subjected our parents to that even if my siblings did

   We were responsible

It woudnt have occurred to us to take advantage of our parents

I understand.

the thick thuggish man insisted to a street reporter that in fact he wore a garment that shows hes an ICE agent

the reporter stepped backaway and asked the man to humor her Turn around and around slowly.

mockingly  the agent heldup both armstouched his fingertips together and slowly pirouetted

                                                                                                 growled joked

This must be how a ballerina feels.

Sorry.

         Left my tutu at home.

Didn’t want it crushed or soiled.

after a slow complete threesixty

                                    the reporter disagreed with the agent

she saw nothing that distinguished the man as an agent

That’s because you lack insight.  he chuckled

                                                    Yaknow.  Insight.

I don’t know.

Lemme show you.

off came the flakjacket

off came a light black cotton jacket

he stood for a moment in a white tshirt

                                            You see?

she shook her head no had no idea where this strip was going

No. snorted  How can you be a reporter and lack insight?

                                                              Awwell.  he reached backgrasped the tshirt at the shoulders and stripped it off over his head

                                                  snapped it briskly

barechested thrusted it forward towards her

    through the front of the tshirt she could makeout on its back in capitalized black blocked letters

ICE above AGENT

 

Clever, huh? You see how you lack insight for your job?

                                                            I see mine in white shining clarity.

I’m tellin’ ya, the girl has an appetite. Often she eats more than me.

When

When what?

Eats more I coud guess

Guess.

When you take her out for dinner

    She does packs it away.

But you were talkin about a barbecue at your place  T-bones

                                                                 I know the smaller portion is filet

Whas the large its not round or  or  sirloin

No.

New Yorks a strip

Yes. I agree.

Then I hope you impressed the hell out of her referred to the T as a filet an New York

Missed an opportunity

You think?

She insists she has an expensive palate no California sparkling wine for her

That’s true . . that’s true.

You said it went south the Ts werent done enough

Mine plenty, medium rare. When we’re out, she orders, I don’t pay attention to how she has it prepared.

I woud

You would. Why would you?

                                  If you went out.

didnt miss the slight Ya know I don eat out

No.

     You and the, what?ritual.

The process the preparation selection cuttingup cooking
