We were watching the news on Brazilian satellite and they were talking about a beached whale somewhere in São Paulo I think... Then th reporter says the rescue attempt was going to stop for the night and resume in the morning. Our conversation went like this:
HER - Is it going to survive 12 hours?
ME - It should as long as it skin is wet and it doesn't colapse under its own weight.
HER - It will have to keep its mouth under water and it seems the water is too shallow.
ME - what?
HER - How is it gonna breathe?
ME - You're kidding right? It's a whale! It breathes air. Just like us.
HER - No it doesn't. How do you think it stays under water for so long? You gonna tell me it just holds its breath?
ME - That's exactly right. Remember its a mammal? As in breathes and has a four-chambered heart, and warm blood... What was it? Like 4th grade when we learned this?
HER - Shut up. I just thought...
ME- You thought you could dethrone Jessica Simpson.
HER - Do you want to sleep on the couch tonigh?
ME - I'd probably have a "whale of a time" here by myself tonight.
HER - Asshole....
