cosmolinguistMy friends may have speculated on the nature of this apparent long-distance booty-call — which isn't how I would have categorized it, but I didn't blame them for thinking so — when I could not hear, but they were all nonchalant about it when I was around: the only concession I heard was Josh wanting to know what I do if when there are more than two people I want to hold hands with at the same time.
"Do you think a third hand would be a good idea?" he asked.
I thought about that for a second. It had never really been a problem for me, so I wasn't sure what to think of this new idea. "Well, it depends!" I said. "I mean, Is it just sticking out of the same wrist as the other hand? Or are you talking about a whole nother arm, like Zaphod Beeblebrox?"
But the truth is, there's never been more than two people that want to hold hands with me at the same time, so it works out all right. Indeed, there is very rarely more than one.
