β€œThat's reminiscent,” Norie mused, β€œof
The Man with Two Eyes, from which I'll now supply a brief quote: 'The first 15 minutes are the hardest,' I  told my new girlfriend seemed to understand even tho she was new.
      'Will I always be your girlfriend?' She asked expectantly.
      'No,' I mushed, 'some day you'll be a miserable
      memory like radiation therapy or dialysis.'
      'If I turned Italian, grew whiskers & spoke
      with a limp would you not still love me?'
      'Still?...oh yeah, sure still...'"
β€œI remember that,” Kevvy said. β€œHow about this
quote from the same book:

      sexiest old man I'd ever had anything to do with."}
      'Isn't this a nice place to pick, Nick?' Asked his girlfriend.
      'Yes, that way it'll be infected in no time!'
      'Should I have washed my hands?'
      'No, I prefer my woman's hands unwashed.'
      'Will you be taking that trip to Cleveland?'
      'Yes, I'm afraid I have no choice.'
      'Oh Nick, must it be this way?'”
  β€œYes, Nick, I mean Kevver, that one's always occupied a special place in my heart adjacent to the interventricular septum.”
   β€œFor me, it's the right atrioventricular (tricuspid) valve.”
   β€œYou lying sack of ****!”
   β€œBe careful Norbert!” Kevin cautioned. β€œYou wouldn't
want to bust your posterior interventricular septal artery.”
   β€œYou're right. I wouldn't want that...”
