“Hey there, Goob. Almost done with the paper?”
“Not yet, Harley. Just finished reading about the cat who decided to learn to play the violin and was run out of town for making too much noise. Cats and dogs are just not made to make music.”
“WHAT?”
“I said the cat made too much noise and was asked to leave town. Nothing unusual about that, Harley. You’ve heard about rules about noise and what happens if you break the rules.”
“Well, I guess SOME people think music is noise. If it’s GOOD music, there’s not a problem. It’s all about having class and knowing the difference between NOISE and MUSIC!
Much too much for me. Hope you found some good news in that paper today.”
