Okay, Flip, you can do this. No need to be frightened. You have completed this task thousands of times before. Just quick and easy.

Commencing on the count of three. One, two.

Hey, Flip. Have you seen my task paste anywhere?

Rosie, have you never heard of knocking first?

Yeah, I've heard of it. Never tried it myself, though. What's up to with those pliers?

Well, Rosie, not that it is any of your business, but I was actually in the process of removing my third antenna.

Third antenna? I had no idea you had a third antenna, Flip. Here, let me take a look.

Mozy? Come on. Just move on with it. I want to see. Oh, come on, please.

Oh, yeah. Look at that little thing. It is so cute.

It is not cute, Mozy. And the reason you have never seen it is because I pluck it out every five earth cycles using this specialized extrusion device.

You mean the pliers?

Yes. Well, why do you do that, Flip? It seems like a lot of work.

I pluck out my antenna, Mozy, because the traditions and standard practices of being a flippian dictate that I must.

Oh, don't worry about that, Flip. I'm the only one out here who even knows what a flippian is.

If you want to have three antennas, then you should just go ahead and have three antennas.

Well, that is easy for you to say, Mozy. You are not a flippian. You would not understand.

Yeah, maybe not, but I think I know an earthling who would.

The shoe.

Oh, it's this fun little earthling I read about last week. It lives in that big salty puddle down there on earth.

Oh, what's it called again?

The ocean.

That's the one.
