Can you believe it?


By CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

Mo: Can you believe it?

Joe: What? That Boise State is now 7-0 and is ranked No. 3 in the nation?

Mo: No.

Joe: That there's snow on the mountains?

Moe: No.

Joe: That the most important national mid-term election in history is coming up this week?

Moe: No.

Joe: That Halloween is this week?

Moe: No.

Joe: You got a job?

Moe: No.

Joe: Well, what's so important?

Moe: They're banning smoking in this bar on Nov. 19!

Joe: For the day?

Moe: Forever.

Joe: What? What are we supposed to do now?

Moe: I don't know.

Joe: I guess we could stop smoking.

Mo and Joe: (Hilarious laughter)

Moe: We could stop drinking.

Mo and Joe: (Hilarious laughter)

Joe: Stop, you're killing me.

Mo: Maybe we could smoke outside?

Joe: In the winter?

Mo: Yeah, by the dumpster in the alley.

Joe: Maybe they could make a beer garden out in the alley with heaters.

Mo: Planning and Zoning will never go for it.

Joe: Well, this is serious.

Moe: You're telling me. What are we going to do?

Joe: Maybe we'll have to change.

Mo: Change? I'm too old to change.

Jo: Times change. We've got to change with it.

Mo: Why?

Joe: That's what life is all about. We've got to change and go on.

Mo: I hate that.

Joe: So do I, Mo. But it will be all right.

Mo: It will?

Jo: It's just the way it is.

Nice talking to you.
