Conversation #21 – Glory and Respect

Victory is shouted from the rooftops in accordance with custom and we end not with a bang but a whimper

Greg says:

Hear this today

Greg says:

all people of all nations hear me

The Mona Kenny says:

morning

Greg says:

Sing it loud and sing it proud

The Mona Kenny says:

Oh no. no singing.

Greg says:

Are you really going to criticise my singing ability?

The Mona Kenny says:

Nope. My own.

The Mona Kenny says:

If I hear I’m going to be singing I try to be in a different room

Greg says:

On its way to epigramhood but it ain’t there yet

The Mona Kenny says:

If I was wearing my smoking jacket you’d be in real trouble bud

Greg says:

Either way we are evading the point. Shout it from the rooftops...

Greg says:

Let the heralds proclaim...

The Mona Kenny says:

Yada-yada-yada

Greg says:

We won the pub quiz!

The Mona Kenny says:

That is the wow?

Greg says:

And we didn’t cheat!

The Mona Kenny says:

That is a wow

The Mona Kenny says:

Any other entrants?

Greg says:

scores

The Mona Kenny says:

And these entrants. Anything wrong with them

Greg says:

No. and you will not ruin my day of carnival

The Mona Kenny says:

Is that a challenge?

Greg says:

Not really. In fact it’s a grown man doing a little dance

The Mona Kenny says:

And what did you win for your triumph?

Greg says:

Glory + respect + £14

The Mona Kenny says:

Was that you personally or you as a team?

Greg says:

As a team – divied up I got £3 (plus Glory and Respect)

The Mona Kenny says:

Off a stake of?

Greg says:

£1 (plus no Glory and little Respect)

The Mona Kenny says:

Basically you won a pint then

Greg says:

In London? Gotta be kidding.

Greg says:

But glory and respectwise I’m in the bank.

The Mona Kenny says:

Well congratulations then. I will contact one of my agents down there to pat you on the head

Greg says:

Thanks - but could you clap me on the back instead, the hair you know

The Mona Kenny says:

Very well. To maintain the balance you will be clapped on the back but by a kind of camp agent with a bunch of daffodils

Greg says:

You know I can’t see that boosting either my level of Glory or Respect

The Mona Kenny says:

Possibly not but Infamy-wise you’ll get a fillip

Greg says:

Maybe but I’d rate Glory and Respect over infamy any day

The Mona Kenny says:

What’s wrong with infamy?

Greg says:

Lots of people are infamous but I wouldn’t want to be them.

The Mona Kenny says:

You say that now but Casanova was infamous

Greg says:

So was john-wayne bobbit

The Mona Kenny says:

Point taken

The Mona Kenny says:

So to speak

Greg says:

[whimper]
