Exercise Part 2

She: All men are slime said the little bird. 
He: Said who? 
She: said the little bird. 
He: What little bird? 
She: It's just an expression I am using. 
He: Using for what? 
She: There is this exercise I am doing in creative writing and the story starter is 'All men are slime' 
He: What an obnoxious start that is. 
She: What do you mean? 
He: I mean how can one give a general statement like that. 
She: Well it does not mean that 100% of the men are slime... 
He: Well the all in there suggests just that. 
She: Hmmm... 
He: You don't agree? 
She: I think it suggests that there is a bit of slime in every man... 
He: Even that is an obnoxious statement. 
She: You don't think so? He: Of course I don't! 
She: Do you think that there is not a bit of err slime in every man...? 
He: So you think I am slime...! 
She: WHAT? 
He: Well if you think that there is a bit of slime in every single man on the planet then for sure you think the same about me. 
She: There is no need to take it so personally. 
He: Well there is no need to make such a sweeping generalization. 
She: Touchy, aren't we? 
He: Well I really do not like it when women tend to say negative things that encompass the whole of mankind... 
She: How do you know a woman made that statement?
 He: Yeah well I guess a bird did! It's so obvious. 
She: How so? 
He: Who else can hold men in such contempt. 
She: Don't you think we have a reason to? 
He: We are the protectors, providers, and whatnot. Yet we have to deal with drivel like this. 
She: Oh come on...so in return for your 'protection' and 'providence' we have to deal with your slime 
He: well there are bad eggs everywhere..does not mean the whole basket is rotten. 
She: Yes you are right, but still, I kinda agree with the statement. 
He: Explain to me please...how so? 
She: I think the basic nature of a man...when pushed to a limit they tend to turn to slime... 
He: You can't be serious 
She: Well isn't it a proven fact that the true nature of a man is revealed when he is put in a difficult situation...like a war for example which brings out the worst in us. 
He: Well that would apply to the whole of humankind now, won't it? Why just hand the privilege to us poor souls... 
She: Pour souls, yeah right! 
He: When did you become a feminist all of a sudden? 
She:After I got married to you maybe! 
He: BAH! 
She: Hahaha! 
 He: Women are so emotional! 
She: Who says that? 
He: The eagle. 
She: Looks who's generalizing now. 
He: Well we poor men don't have a choice now don't we? 
She: I know from when you became an MCP. 
He: When? 
She: From the time you were born!
