Conversation With Joan

My friend Joan and I are planning a trip to the zoo on Saturday. Before this conversation took place, I joked that the Polar Bear at the zoo wanted to eat my cat. This is commonplace talk for Joan and me. Our conversations are rarely based in reality. To quote Best in Show, sort of, because I'm not looking up the full quote, "We could talk or not talk for hours and still find things to not talk about."

Joan: I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow.

Me: I think I'm making burgers tomorrow.

Joan: For the Polar Bear?

Me: Yeah.

Joan: I thought he wanted to eat your cat.

Me: He did, but we compromised and I'm bringing him burgers.

Joan: Cheeseburgers?

Me: No. He keeps kosher.

Joan: I hear he's very devout. He wears a yarmulke, and it's got a strap that goes around his chin so he can swim with it on.

Me: And he's circumcised, too.

Joan: Oh, I, uh, never checked.
