Joel: You don’t look so hot. Are you
okay?
Beatrice: I’m perfectly fine.
Joel: Oh, and you’re grouchy, too.
Don’t tell me. You’re dieting again.
Beatrice: Just leave me alone. I’m not
popping pills or anything like that.
I’m just trying to shed a few
pounds the natural way.
Joel: The natural way? You mean like that diet
you were on a few months ago where you only
ate Monday, Wednesday, and Friday? Or that
other diet you were on before where you drank
50 cups of water a day?
Beatrice: Those were fad diets that
didn’t work. I’m onto a new diet
that’s guaranteed to take way those
unwanted pounds and to reveal my
slimmer self.
Joel: You sound like a commercial, or an
infomercial. Is that where you found
this diet, on some late-night infomercial?
Beatrice: It doesn’t matter where I heard about
this diet. It only matters that its
scientifically proven to help people
lose weight.
Joel: All right. I need to shed a few pounds.
What’s the secret diet?
Beatrice: I’m not telling you. You’ll only
make fun of it.
Joel: No, I won’t. Tell me.
Beatrice: All right. I only eat orange-colored
foods.
Joel: What?!
Beatrice: I said, I only eat orange-colored
foods. I’ve eaten a lot of oranges and carrots.
Joel: I can see why you’re so grouchy. You’ve
lost your bleeping mind!
