I have a close friend who did perhaps the best rhetorical drop-kick of me that I have ever experienced. We had been chatting for a while on the phone that day about weird occurrences in my home state. Then I said something about not all people in Florida are crazy.

She said, “Oh, I know. There’s this guy I know in Florida. He’s really smart, and kind and has a nice body because he works out all the time. He’s just the best.”

And I said, “Oh?

“Yeah,” she said. “One day, I’ll introduce you to him.”

Talk about killing it. She laid the trap and she sprung it with panache. I couldn’t have nailed it any better myself. That’s how you do it, folks. I still laugh every time I think about it.
