My Shoelaces Taste Funny

"Oh man, what if your fingers had taste buds?"

"That would be so gross. Shaking hands would be an experience."

"Salty. Yeah, there are so many things you touch that you don't want to taste. Dogs, lawn clippings, paper, basketballs, swimming pool water, your own face."

"You could wear flavored gloves though."

"Dentists actually have those."

"Oh gross. I would not want people sucking on my fingers."

Frame's Fingers

"Oh man, have you seen a picture of John Frame? He looks like a hippopotamus in a suit."

"Yeah he kinda does. But a jolly hippopotamus."

"I dunno man, there's jolly kinds of old men and there's non jolly kinds of old men."

"Yeah, but Frame looks super jolly."

"Awh man I saw a cool old man at the bagel place today. I just kept looking at him thinking, 'what a cool old guy.' He was there with his nice old wife and he was wearing an old man hat and old man slacks. What a cool guy."

"Yeah I like old men. Have you met my grandpa? He pretty much embodies 'jolly.' He'll just come over and chuckle and poke jokes. And he's missing a finger. Which he's kinda happy about, cuz it makes pottery a lot easier."

"I want to be missing a finger. It would be such a great conversation starter. 'So... I'm missing a finger.'"

"Whoa! What if your fingers were switched with your toes?!"

"Imagine pointing at something or brushing your teeth or typing a paper!"

"Of course, you could probably just do that with your feet."
