Caesar’s Cowboy Hat

The Greek chorus hogging the entire couch: How quickly this one forgets where his brother has gone to go cycling. How quickly he forgets all things. We wonder what the gods will think of this indiscression. If they think anything at all.

Me: Do you guys ever take those masks off?

The Greek chorus hogging the entire couch: Oh he does not know what awaits him next. We hope nothing of horror has occurred.

Brother: *walks in carrying his bike helmet* Hi I’m back.

The Greek chorus hogging the entire couch: Oh what has he been doing? Is this family always doomed to forget?

Me: Hey did you remember to pick up eggs on the way back?

Brother: No I forgot again. Do we need those by tomorrow?

The Greek chorus hogging the entire couch: Oh, both brothers have forgotten their own betrayal of each other!

Brother: So are they ever gonna let us sit on that couch again or

Me: I don’t think I wanna go on that couch again after what they told me today.

The Greek chorus hogging the entire couch: It’s not like we go at it while you’re around.

The Greek chorus hogging the entire couch: Does he remember that the gods punish the greedy?

Me: Theres tragedies unfolding all over the place. It’s miserable out there. Why can’t you just narrate one of those?

The Greek chorus hogging the entire couch: You know nothing about the current job market.

Brother: We’ve tried to connect you with agencies several times. You don’t even do chores. You need to move.

The Greek chorus hogging the entire couch: Thanks for not bringing up the sex thing.

Me: We don’t have to because you’re always the ones who bring it up.

Brother: Please make other arrangements if you’re not going to help around the house.

The Greek chorus hogging the entire couch: Zeus the protector of guests will bring ruin to this house!

Wit (putting down his deck of cards): I'm offended.

Jasnah: And I must say, I expected an immortal to have better stamina.
