OT-Verbal Fig Sparring

Scene: Me and Him, in our office at our respective computers.

Me: (Reading Emails) Ohhhh! I may be getting some Monticello cuttings from a fig forum member! <big smiles>

Him: Hmmp. Whatcha gonna do with all these fig plants?!

Me: Grow them! These are from Thomas Jefferson ffs.

Him: Hmmmp. Where are you gonna plant them?

Me: In the yard! A fig takes about 5yrs to reach peak maturity for taste. I'll grow them, and the ones that turn out crappy get pulled up and I plant something else in it's place. D'uh.

Him: Well, if you keep planting them, there won't be any garden left!

Me: Just that much less grass for you to cut! <batting eyelashes>

Silence.
