[[Two characters meet. One is wearing a beret.]]
Character: Any New Year's resolutions?
Bereted character: Gonna figure out what email is.
Character: ...
Email?
Bereted character: People always say they're sending them. They sound really into it, so I always nod, but I have no idea what it is.
Character: You have an address on your website!
[[The bereted character looks thoughtful.]]
Bereted character: Oh,
that's
what that thing is.
Character: Email is important! You can't just
never
check it. It's not like voicemail.
Bereted character: Can't they just send messages
normally?
Character: How?
Bereted character: Fax! Or snapchat.
Character: ... The naked pic thing?
Bereted character: Fax machines aren't
just
for faxting!
