Friends United
A friend of two decades was describing the
success of a young screenwriter she knows.
Good for him, says I.
He’s got something I didn’t have to make it in
that business, says I.
Well, says she, he is very diplomatic and
cheerful.
Ah, says I (fake modestly), two things I am
not — diplomatic and cheerful.
You’re cheerful, says she.
WTF?
So at lunch with yet another friend of two
decades, I repeat the above story, including:
And then, says I, two things I am not —
diplomatic and cheerful.
You’re cheerful, she said.
WTF is that?
Tags:Yes, the world needs diplomats
to stay fit.
But remember: We also serve who
hiss and spit.
