Mary and Patrick

What'd you do? 

I stuck my finger in a pie and it never came out. 

Is that right? 

Yeah, that's right. 

Well, that's an unexpected disaster.

Yeah, it's a little bit messy, maybe beyond repair. 

Isn't that the truth.

Yes mam. 

You don't need that finger. 

Is that right?

Yeah, that's right. I'll sew it up for you, your new nub. It might hurt a little bit. 

Do you like it?

Not necessarily. 

Do you like me?

Not necessarily. 

Would you go out with a guy with a nub as a finger? 

Possibly. 

Would you go out with me?

Possibly. 

Will you go out with me tomorrow? 

Possibly. 

Can I treat you to dinner tomorrow for treating my wound? 

I work tomorrow. 

Until what time? 

5:00. 

Can I pick you up for dinner at 5, right here? 

What if I work overtime? 

I'll wait.

Okay, I'll go to dinner with you tomorrow at 5. 

.............................

See you tomorrow at 5. 

See you tomorrow. 

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Why No Goalie

 The Strykers/Fury game vs. San Diego Sockers was a fantastic game. The scoring was back and forth and the game went into overtime. The San Diego Sockers won the game in overtime by one point. In the game, the way the Strykers/Fury goalies were playing on the field instead of staying in their positions was driving me nuts and from my perspective was the reason for the San Diego Sockers winning the game. 

As I'm guessing the reason for the goalies playing on the field was to give the team a one man up advantage but if I were on the SD Sockers team I would capitalize on any opportunity to put the ball in the net to counteract that cockiness. If it were a no goalies game, it would be different but there are goalkeepers for a reason and at least 3-4 goals were scored against the Strykers/Fury as a result.
