"So what creative task did you accomplish yesterday?
"None, of course."
"So you did instead...?"
"Well, I came pretty close to seriously considering
boiling some eggs."
"How close?"
"I thought about it loads, for like hours."
"That is close. But you didn't do it?"
"Tomorrow is another day."
"Eat anything?"
"Of course! I had like three bananas, and a packet of
beans. I even used a spoon for the beans. How posh!"
"Did you cook them?"
"Don't be daft."
"And with the other fifteen point five hours?"
"I actually spent literally the whole day making and
editing a video that, though 95% done, I'll probably never finish, and
therefore never show anyone."
"Well, hey, that does sound at least a little bit
creative."
"Yeah. I guess I'm working on my list from the bottom
up."
"I'd say you've probably been doing that for
years."
"Touché."
"No: 'touché' is when someone has a go at you and you
get a clever strike back."
"No it's not: I just looked it up."
"When?"
"Right before I first typed it."
"Then why did you still have me say it?"
"Can't let you win every argument."
