Ah, gentlemen. I see we’re all here and on fire in time for the meeting. Shall we begin?
MONK #1: hey what does it look like when two people who love one another hug
MONK #2: oh god just awful, it looks awful
like one of ’em is a knife just splitting into the other one’s skin
MONK #1: dang
MONK #2: or theres another way
MONK #1: of hugging?
MONK #2: yeah
only your chins and one knee touch
and you make your face miserable
and lean away as hard as you can
so those are the two main basic kinds of hugging that there are
MONK #1: like this?
MONK #2: yeah exactly
MONK #1: oh that reminds me
which way do necks bend
on humans
MONK #2: any way
MONK #1: yeah?
MONK #2: yeah there’s like literally no direction a neck cant bend in
MONK #1: really
MONK #2: yeah
try it sometime
MONK #1: oh remind me what jesus looked like again
MONK #2: protractor and a compass mixed together with a head on it
MONK #1: right right
MONK #2: oh and also don’t forget he was mostly made of eyes
MONK #1: who
jesus?
MONK #2: oh yeah
like 80% of his head was just his eyes
like a possum
maybe make a note of that cos you’ll be drawing his eyes a lot
MONK #1: hey thanks
