DrinkWithMe:Think you’re going to win?
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:Well, being that we’re the number-one team in the country, I would say yes.
DrinkWithMe:Wait, really?
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:You really have no clue, do you?
DrinkWithMe:No clue about what? I don’t follow sports, never been into them. I guess I don’t have a clue about anything.
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:So you don’t know that you’re talking to the guy with the second-best batting average in the country as well?
DrinkWithMe:What’s a batting average? Is that a sexual innuendo?
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:Christ. Just send me your address.

DrinkWithMe:I got a special delivery today.
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:And . . .
DrinkWithMe:Am I supposed to sleep with this?
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:Do you want to sleep with it?
DrinkWithMe:The nylon fabric does bring back old memories.
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:Well, I did send it to entice you.
DrinkWithMe:How is a Chicago Bobbies flag supposed to entice me?
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:A few ways. For one, it could remind you of how we first met.
DrinkWithMe:Nostalgia accomplished.
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:You could use it as a symbol of me and wrap it around yourself when you’re missing me.
DrinkWithMe:Not quite missing you just yet, but maybe in the future. Continue.
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:And it gets cold in Chicago, so it could be an extra layer for those wintry days.
DrinkWithMe:I do find that appealing.
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:And finally, you could hang it up in your room, so whenever you look at it, you think of me, the guy with the second-best batting average in the country.
DrinkWithMe:Hmm, sounds interesting. If only you had sent Velcro with it . . .
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:Did you look in the package? It’s there.
DrinkWithMe:Okay . . . I think you might have gotten me with the Velcro.
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:You’re an odd one to please.

DrinkWithMe:So there’s a billboard of you outside the restaurant I work at. Did you have them put it there on purpose? Also, your pants are tight. Very tight . . . that’s a supreme rear end you have there, Bisley.
Ryot.Bisley.Balls:If I knew where you worked, then I would have asked them to put up three billboards, but fortunately for me, this was all by chance. Also, thank you for the butt compliment. I do a lot of squats.
