My friend, you have met a terrible, terrible demise. But, I, uh, y'know, I - I - I don't feel too bad about it. After all, if it weren't for me it would've just been from someone else, y'know? I guess what I'm trying to say is life - life goes on. Well... Well for everyone else life goes on. Not - not for you.. uh.. You're being comboed. That's neither here nor there.

It reminds me of one summer day in the park. I was having just a delightful picnic with my good friend Thrasios, and I said to him - I said "Thrasios, I-I have a story."

And he said to me "What's the significance of the story?" and...

I said to him "T-Thrasios, not every story has to have significance, y'know? Sometimes, uh, y'know, sometimes a story is just a story. You try to read into every little thing and find meaning in everything anyone says you'll just drive yourself crazy. Had a friend do it once - Wasn't pretty. We talked about it for years. And not only that, but you'll likely end up believing something you shouldn't believe, thinking something you shouldn't think, o-or assuming something you shouldn't assume, y'know?"

Sometimes I said "A story is-is just a story, so just be quiet for one second in life and finish your lab man combo, okay?" Of course, it was only then I realized I'd made sandwiches.

Poor Thrasios was... having such difficulty eating it. Merfolks have those clumsy hands, y'know? Actually, I-I suppose that's the problem. They don't have hands at all, do they? The-they're all webbed! An-I-I couldn't imagine someone asking me to eat a sandwich with webbed hands.

Now, if I recall correctly there was a bakery nearby. I said to him, "Thrasios, let me go get you some rye bread." Now, I-I'm unsure if merfolk enjoy rye bread, but I assure you that Thrasios does.

Now this was on a Tuesday, which was good because rye bread was always fresh on Tuesday. They made sourdough bread on Monday, and threw it out Wednesday... or rather they sold it at a discount for people wanting to feed the gilded geese, and probably at the end of the day finally they threw it all out - I don't recall.

I do remember a man who would bring his son to the bakery every Wednesday and go feed the gilded geese. He would buy all of the sourdough bread. Of course, y'know, you're not supposed to feed the gilded geese sourdough bread at all. It swells up in their stomach and then they all die. At, uh.. at least... at least that's what I've heard. Y'know I-I never saw any ducks die myself, but I did notice a substantial decrease in the gilded goose population over the course of a few years. I just never thought to stop the man and tell him that he was killing the gilded ducks by feeding them sourdough bread! And if you want my opinion on the matter, heh - and I told Thrasios this as well - "If you wanna feed gilded geese, or birds of paradise, or any kind for that matter, it's best to buy seed."

I mean, when you think about it, breads of any sort don't occur in nature. They don't grow on trees, or spring up from the bushes. I don't think birds of paradise know what to do with bread. What was I saying?

Oh-oh, yes yes.

So I bought Thrasios some rye bread. What a fine day it was.
