The scene:
An outdoor table earlier today at at cafe in Arbor.
The characters
Agatestone and The Breakfast Czar.
Scene 1
Agatestone
"So Breakfast Czar, how many of my Cranbrook photos do you think I could get on one DVD?"
Breakfast Czar
"I am sure you could get an entire Cranbrook trip, which you said was roughly 60 photos, on a DVD."
Agatestone
"But what if I don't go to Cranbrook? What if I go to Meadowbrook instead? How many of those photos will I be able to get on a disk?"
This is when all hell breaks loose. The Breakfast Czar actually begins to explain that regardless of what I photograph or where I go to take photographs, I will still be able to get over 60 photos on a disk. My dear sister honestly thought I was that stupid and didn't realize I was joking!
I would love to take this skit on the road and perform it for unsuspecting relatives and friends. We talked about it but realized that there is no way we'd be able to keep straight faces. Yes, I would play the fool, but I think we could get a lot of laughs out of it.
After grilling her about her motivation, she pointed out that as a computer consultant, she gets countless stupid questions and she is desensitized enough that she just answers them without making any sort of verbal judgment, like "Gee Agatestone, you are a complete moron."

Hon,
Its not that I am desensitized to stupid questions. Its that I am sensitive enough to people's feelings to not make them feel stupid.
You did do a good job at not making me feel stupid. Although, I still wonder if you were thinking that I was being a moron! :)
No hon, that thought never even entered my mind.
