I'm going to do something I haven't done yet: a 2-part diaologue. Frankly, I find both parts of the conversation funny. Enjoy!

Homer Simpson: Someday, you'll thank for this, son.

Bart Simpson: Not bloody likely.

Homer: No, it's true! You know, when I was a boy, I really wanted a catcher's mitt, but my dad wouldn't get it for me. So I held my breath until I passed out and banged my head on the coffee table. Doctors say I might have brain damage!

Bart: Dad? What's the point of this story?

Homer: I like stories.
