On Spooning

Well, I’m sorry but no. We’re good friends and all and you’re definitely a very pretty girl. And I know that maybe for you spooning wouldn’t necessarily be that big of a thing; maybe you just want to cuddle with somebody and that’s all, but I come from a pretty conservative background where we don’t just lie around with girls all the time. I mean, we work together, and I think that’s kind of a weird thing for coworkers to be doing. I mean besides, we’re in an ice cream parlor, do you intend on leaving and going somewhere to spoon or just doing it right here on the cold floor? Because, well, you know what I think I’ve changed my mind. I surely would like to spoon with you and in fact I hope your offer does have some romantic intentions behind it because frankly I have had a crush on you ever since you showed up in the department and I don’t care if you or anyone else knows about it anymore, it’s just the way I feel. Sometimes when I get bored with the McGinty account I sit and think about what our children might look like and whether or not they’d be good soccer players or singers. So yes, yes, YES! I would like to spoon.

…

Well of course you actually asked whether I would like A spoon, I was just saying what I might have said if you had said… yes, of course, I did just purchase a cup of ice cream, the offer of A spoon would make a lot more sense… Hmm, I… I need to go now. I hope that everyone here has learned a lesson on the importance of enunciating your words clearly…

I don’t suppose there’s any chance that you did also want to spoon? No. No, I didn’t think that very likely. Well good day to you then, I’ll be taking this ice cream back to the office with me, I’ve got to do some more work on the McGinty account.
