Time for a new series. Here's how it works. I give you some dialogue and you need to tell me who is talking and what the conversation is about. If you need to weave that into your story, then [;ease do so. As ever, post your stories in the comment box and please try to keep them short. Let's see how this goes.
"Which would you prefer? A six or a nine?"
"Which would you reccomend?"
"A nine."
"I was thinking of a six."
"I insist on a nine."
"How about a compromise?"
"No. Nine!"
"Fine."
....pleased with my deep devotion, God came to me and granted me a number of boons.

ReplyDeletewell, i think some of the given situations wouldn't be appropriate. it cannot be boons,floor etc. then, the the number would not be preceded by 'a'. it would just be 'six or nine', not 'a six or a nine.
ReplyDeleteso, i think it cannot be a count of anything.
anyway, one situation is:
there are 2 drinks, one called six, one called nine in a bar called numbar. a couple go there to order a drink to share, so one says
"Which would you prefer? A six or a nine?"
while the other replies
"Which would you recommend?"
the compromise is that they each buy a different drink, one buys a six, other buys a nine. but the compromise is rejected by one of them. (since they can't afford it)
Try inverting the symbol a 6 will look like a 9.It looks like the GF has got lower increments from her boss & trying to wriggle a higher number to console her. To depress her further the BF proposes 6.When they fight they both realize they are foolish since it looks the same & then they live happily.
ReplyDeleteHah! Easy,

Sarada Mami's head appeared over the kuttichevar separating 63 Luz Avenue from 64 Luz Avenue, as I was presiding over the busy hour at the kitchen making arachu vitta vengaya sambar and urulai roast curry for the Sunday lunch.
