  when bookguy and i travel together most wonder if we are friends or if we are partners. i don't know if it's that we are just so dashing a pair or if it's that we bicker like an old married couple. for sport i like to direct conversations in a certain manner as to help people come to their own conclusions. an example of such assistance may go something like this while checking into a hotel room:

clerk (to bookguy)
may i help you sir

bookguy
i need to check in

clerk (to me)
and you

me
i'm with him.

clerk (gets name and types into computer)
oh. ok, i show you're in a nonsmoking room with two double beds.

bookguy
yes, that's right.

me
i'm sorry, did you say two beds.

clerk
yes. is that not right?

me
can we get one king?

clerk (looking inquisitive)
uhmm. let me check.

me
oh, that's all right, we can just push those together.

clerk
ok. as long as that's all right.

me
it is.

------------

i'll let you guess what bookguy's countenance takes the form of during such an exercise.

fin.
