Bully, just waking up. Stumbling with eyes closed to get coffee.
Belle, chipper as always, chatty.
Belle "Hey what do you think about Louis Armstrong?"
Bully "huh?"
Belle "Haven't you heard about all the hoopla about him allegedly using drugs?"
Bully "No"
Belle "There is a report out that he is using drugs and had a blood transfusion this past summer"
Bully, opening one eye and pouring coffee "You are not making any sense."
~ pause
Bully "Do you mean Lance Armstrong?"
Belle "Oh yeah, that's it"
Bully "I can't handle these conversations this early. I thought you had lost your mind, Louis Armstrong has been dead for several years."
