Me: “Carbon is just another word for diamonds, you know.”

She: “Hey, we’re carbon.”

Me: “True.”

She: “Does that mean we’re pre-diamonds?”

Me: “I guess so. We would have to go through a diamondization process — applying pressure and so forth. I image it would be like trying to fit into size 2 jeans.”

She: “Image me, going from size 22 to 2. Capt’n, the jeans…the zipper…they cannae take no more…”

Me & She: “They’re going to pop!”

Me: “Yeah, it’s not worth it. I’m satisfied with being a pre-diamond.”

She: “Me, too.”
