A man walks into a bar.
He sees his friend sitting there, walks over and sits down next to him.
His friend turns to him, welcomes him in, and tells him to sit down.
They sit and chat up a storm. After about twenty minutes of this and three drinks later, the man turns to his friend and says:
“Hey, do you remember that time that I went out with that one girl, that one time, and we met you at this bar, this very bar we’re in now, and we sat down next to you and she started to give me a blowjob while we talked about fish and Freud and the beers that we were drink?”
The other man turns to his friend and says "But that's not the way it happened!"
The man turns to his friend and says "But that's the way I’m telling it."
"Well, that's not how I heard it."
"Well, how did you hear it?”
“I heard how you were out with that one girl, a long time ago and you met me in this bar, the one we’re in now, and you sat down next to me and she started to eat fish and you talked about Freud and I blew bubbles in my beer because I was so bored watching the two of you be so boring.”
“But that’s not what I said.”
“But that’s the way I heard you tell it and how it really happened.”
“But that’s not how I’m telling it now.”
“But that’s how you told it just now.”
“Well, I’m telling it a totally different way now, how it really happened, but you just don’t know about it yet because I’m not finished telling it yet.”
“Now you’re just being self-reflexive.”
“Now you’re going to say ‘the end’.”
“Now you’re going to say ‘the end’.”
“The end.”
“Good. The end.”
And they both sit there, blowing bubbles in their beer.
