Wow, H is pretty predictable. I put a picture on facebook that is particularly good (a pro pic) and I get a call from H basically stuttering and wanting to chat and eventually saying "if I could just remove my brain from my head, I'd be a better person." I handled the conversation with levity and patience and I chose to end it after his aforementioned awesomely astute comment. I said, "I think I want to leave it on this note. I find it very amusing. I find you amusing." Which led to his quick reference to Goodfella's which was always our little joke...and I said, "not amusing as in like a clown, more intellectually amusing."
My friend says that I can do better...I'm hanging on that thought.
