Diálogos Memorables n # 2

W: You know about icebergs, dad? 

E: Do I? I saw an iceberg once. They were hauling it down to Texas for drinking water. They didn’t count on there being an elephant frozen inside. The wooly kind. A mammoth.
W: Dad! 

E: What? 

W: I’m trying to make a metaphor here. 

E: Well you shouldn’t have started with a question, because most people want to answer questions. You should’ve started with “the thing about icebergs is.”
