The Win
Chupsy never said anything clever. And coming close to 40.
One night when the whole gang assed around, all looked to
him for some mystical reason, and he...emitted a something
to make everyone cringe.
The whole group turned its back as if praying for the shame
to vanish.
And then it happened. A new remark, somewhat esoteric, and yet
fitting the topic on more than one point.
A beat or two, and then the spontaneous roar of laughter.
He was much congratulated, but people often avoided him after.
Expecting that laser wit to cut them mid mot.
Needn't have bothered. One-shot wonder.
