Two Guys on the Beach (age 19)

There’s two guys on the beach facing the water.

Jim: I really like the beach.

John: We have a lot of memories here.

Jim: Yeah, like that time those kids threw all of our stuff in the water.

John: That’s not a good memory.

Jim: I know, but I remember it very well.

John: Anyway, I have something that I wanted to ask you.

Jim: I have something that I need to share too.

John: Alright.

Jim: I’m blind.

John: Well, that’s, ah, that’s a shock!  What about all of those movies you saw?

Jim: That was just an act.

John: Okay. Well, we can still be friends.

Jim: I didn’t expect us to stop being friends.

John: Yeah, okay, um, well I wanted to have permission to marry your sister.

Jim: I don’t know. You’re a recovering alcoholic and marrying someone is a lot of responsibility.

John: I know, but I’ve been sober for three years know.

Jim: Oh, alright.

John: Yeah! Thanks. You know, this will be my first marriage ceremony, and that’s a big deal for a reverend. That’s when we really earn our collars.

Jim: Remember how we used to play cowboys and Indians and you were always saying the prayers at the funerals?

John: And do you remember how we used to play house and I’d come in and say you were living in sin?

Jim. I was always bumping into things!

John: And remember that time those kids threw out clothes in the water!

Jim: I don’t know why you keep brining that up.
