Amos: Why isn't whittier, california, whittiest, california? I mean, it makes you think, did something, somehow, go wrong? was it the result of some arbitrarily biased and standardized test for whit, where whittier came in in the top ten percent-not bad but just not whitty enough? or are they prone to self effacement, knowing that they are more than whittier, but now iwshing to appear cocky? Thus they settle for a comparatively admirable reputation for whit, knowing that in truth.... edda: sweetie, if I place myself against you, thus, and... edda: sliding upward.... amos: do this... edda: to your earlobe... edda: is there any chance you will abandon the present topic? Amos: The likelihood is most assured. amos: I didn't realize you harbor such strong conviction about whittier. edda: you ain't seen nothin' yet.
