While Out For a Walk

I was out for a walk. I came across a hole in the ground that said, “Hey, how’s it going?”

I said, “Okay. How about you?

The hole in the ground said, “Do you remember that rainstorm we had last week? Well, I finally evaporated all the water that had been sitting in me.”

I said, “Wow, you must be relieved.”

The hole in the ground said, “Are you patronizing me?”

I said, “No.”

The hole in the ground said, “Because I don’t have to talk with you.”

I said, “I’m gonna go.”

The hole in the ground said, “Wait. I’m sorry. I’ll be nicer.”

I said, “Maybe you need a nap.”

The hole in the ground said, “Seriously, get the hell out of here!!”

I made a mental note to not walk down this block the next time I went out.
