Before Your Time- Wee Challenge 12

'You can't honestly sit there and say that!' the turtle-like man with a bad toupee said.

'I'm not actually sitting and I can say what I want,' said the man in the business suit with the smarmy grin.

'But Gandhi was not a Nazi and I don't want to argue about it.'

'Who are you to say he wasn't? Were you there?'

'First you tell me Jesus was gay. Then you said dinosaurs were plants. Now Gandhi is a Nazi. These are the dumbest arguments I've ever had.'

'The veracity of the argument doesn't make it any less of an argument.'

'It makes it a less interesting argument.'

'It was before your time, anyway.'

'And yours.'

'Not necessarily.'

'You were around when there were dinosaurs?'

'Who's to say I wasn't?'

'God.'

'Him? He died last summer. Boating accident.'

Clever and bizarre!

And so close to the truth of many arguments you hear in our post-modern, truth-begging world.

Well-written, friend Les.

Blessings.
