Hope you like it.
You Don’t Say By John W. Howell © 2014
“Hey, man where you going?”
“Gotta get to the gym.”
“What for?”
“What do you, usually, do at the gym?”
“Play basketball?”
“Uh, man you are the brightest.”
“You don’t say.”
‘Yeah, I do say. I’m going to the Gym to get in shape.”
“What kind of shape do you want to get in? Trapezoid?
“Ah yes, of course. You are doing stand-up on the tonight show right?”
“You don’t say.”
“I do say you are the most annoying person sometimes.”
“So you didn’t answer the question. What shape do you want to get in?”
“I want to look like a pear. Okay?”
“You already look pear-shaped. Why bother?”
“Do you know how to box?”
“No. I’m more of a bag man myself.”
“That’s it, put up your dukes.”
“You don’t say.”
“I do say. Fight or flee.”
“I choose flee thank you. See ya.”

I think it is a good thing, but you sure can come up with some annoying characters. I’d want to punch him, too.

Funny how we thought of the same song and went in very different directions with it. Of course, I have a motto; Everything’s better with Vulcans! =D
I can just imagine this conversation with T’Pol in it…and neither one of these dudes would be able to keep up with her in the gym, either!

From an old bit. Phone rings guy answers. “You don’t say,” he repeats several times and hangs up. The other guy asks, “who was that?” The answer, “I don’t know he didn’t say.”
