A non-woke short story….

******

Hey! Ick Yuk Fooey, how's it going man! I haven't seen you in ages.

Well, as I live and breathe Tom D. Harry. I been good man. You?

You know how it goes, some ups, some downs. Mostly ups though.

Good to hear. You know Arnold right? How's he doing.

Arnold Nosuchinsky? Naw I haven't heard from him in years. Been kinda outta the loop you know. How about Pablo, heard anything?

Yeah, Pablo's doing good. He and Nadya got married. Had a big wedding, did the whole hypehanted name thing and everything.

Pablo and Nadya. Wow. So what order did they end up with for the names.

Well they couldn't agree so they split the difference. They each took the others last name as the second part. So she's now Nadya Notaco-Beanero, and he's Pablo Beanero-Notaco.

Huh. Well it's been great catching up man, I got a meeting I gotta get to. Glad I ran into you, maybe be seeing you around?

Sure thing. See ya.
