Stew: Strange isn’t it, because take mayflies for example, they only have three hours inbetween hatching and dying in which to find a mate, and yet they always succeed, don’t they right. So if a small unpleasant fly can manage to form a sexual relationship in an 8th of day then you’d think you could have managed it in 39 years.
Richard: Yes Stew, but I am more choosy than a fly Stew. I would never try and get off with a fly, for a start. Well, not unless I was really drunk. Alright Stew, you’ve badgered me into it with your questions questions questions, I did once actually get off with a fly at New Year and it was quite good actually because a gnat’s chuff is literally as tight as a gnat’s chuff.
Stew: Yes but that’s because a gnat’s chuff is literally a gnat’s chuff. What you’ve done there is you’ve misunderstood the art of simile. You’ve confused being like something with actually being the same as something, with actually being the actual thing.
