Almost 30 Years Together. . . Why?

Here’s the culmination of yet another conversation between Jack and me at our friends’ house. We had all been discussing a video about George Bernard Shaw and had even looked him up on Jack's IPhone:

Me: He was a Marxist/socialist/communist/elitist ass who believed in genocide and he’s on video promoting the use of selective death using “humanitarian gas.”

Jack: Well he WAS an alcoholic!

Me: So what? What are you saying? Who are you talking about?

Jack: I’m talking about Glen Campbell. Did you know he was an original member of the Beach Boys?

Me: No Damn It! I’m talking about George Bernard Shaw!
