On the train ride home from work tonight, the conversation went like this:
Sione: Oh my god it's so hot on this train! All these people!
Megs: Yeah, but at least we got seats. It could be worse.
Sione: [Pause.] You're right. Thank you for reminding me that my life is not as bad as a Jew's during the holocaust.
Megs: Yeah, man. Think about how bad it must've been to be on the train to Auschwitz. That would've sucked.
Sione: [glances around the train at the bored faces of fellow passengers and then laughs hysterically for five minutes]
Megs: I was serious man!
Sione: [still laughing] I know! That's what makes it so funny!
Megs: You're a sick bastard. You and Josef Goebbels should be friends.
Sione: Who's Josef Goebbels?
Megs: He was the Nazi propaganda guy, aka Hitler's best friend.
Sione: Oh, well he's probably dead then, isn't he?
Megs: [Pause.] Yeah.
