Because they believed us
- pop that sucker out
- eat pizza! fun fun!
- designs on their pots
- hardest departure
- insane stoicism
Because they believed us to have designs on their pots, the primitive artisans drove us away with sharp sticks and their own spittle. Smithers refused to go, even when they poked him, although he relented in his insane stoicism when the chief began to tickle him.
Awaiting Smithers, the rest of us were stranded by the receding tide. Such is the tale of our hardest departure. One of the savages, fascinated by our fair hair and dungarees, fled his ancestral home to experience Western culture. After six months, all he would say was, “eat pizza! fun fun!”
Presenting my research to the dean, I found myself at a loss to reply when he stated, “Ya gots ta pop that sucker out.”
