Freeway Dialogue

The setting is west of Gallup on I-40.

Passenger*: Look! On that semi. It has two classic cars.

Driver: Cool! Wow they’re rusty.

Passenger: And the front one is missing a tire.

Driver: Yeah. It’s less classic.

Passenger: It’s less classic. Because classically cars had all their tires?

Driver: No. Because if a classic car had modern tires its less classic, right?

Passenger: OK.

Driver: So the missing tire might be a modern tire. We can’t tell because its missing.

Passenger: You’re weird.

Driver: I’ll explain it again.

* Names changed to protect the magnificent.
