“…Sure.”

“R-I-S-K…Risk.  What kinda game is this anyhow?  There’s tons a pieces!  Can I be red?

“Yup.”

“What color are gonna pick?  I betch yer gonna pick green or blue.  Didn’t you say yer favorite color was one of them?

“Blue.”

“Yup.”

“My mom says it mighty ridiculous…Hey what ya doing with those pieces on Russia?  I think I’m gonna set up shop here on Alaska.  My uncle Stuie is stationed there.  Say’s it colder than a well diggers fart.  I laughed up a storm at that.  You got any jokes?
