maddie davies pays a visit, van haren has a toilet emergency

maddie davies is a humorist living in Brooklyn, and a good friend of mine from back home in the States. the following is the first installment of an occasional series of dialogs between the two of us. we're fishing for both new readers and happy typing. looking for bites.

s: maddie, can you read me?

m: yes. do you think that the yanks will win the world series?

s: the yanks are like jocks flushing the nerd phillies heads in the toilet.

m: I had a funny idea for a sketch today involving how there's always a telephone by the toilet in hotels.

s: if you could only call one person before you had a serious toilet accident, who would it be?

m: alive or dead?

s: dead.

m: jesus cause i'd want to know if this is really what he had in mind when he invented the toilet phone.

s: he'd probably just answer in a riddle. you should keep in mind that jesus is alive, but his number is unlisted.

m: the number he gives out is fake, too. it's for a bakery in Queens.

s: I know that bakery!
