"You heard the joke right?!" The kid asked.

  The man poured another snort of brandy.  "I heard it." 

  "What was the punchline? I had to pee." 

  "Guy gets to heaven and eats his can of tuna (i)with God(i)." 

  Against a backdrop of the "ball dropping" on a TV. 

  "Approximately eight.  People." 

  The whiteboard still bore the question:  (i)What is truth?(i). 

  "I did." 

  "What do they want?" 

  "They don't want war." 

  "We had to." 

  "They want (i)RomComs(i)." 

  "But the romance is gone." 

  "Maybe that's why."
