amyj: So, do you accept defeat? You realise there's no point in arguing right?
thomas26: You wish Amy. You wish...I never accept defeat- because I never lose. Mwahaha. So yeah. You owe me something...;)
amyj: The deal was that the loser would give the WINNER whatever the WINNER asked for. We both know you couldn't possibly be the winner...which leaves me. So I think it is you who owe me something.
thomas26: Don't make me hurt you! Not in front of the boss. Give it to me! NOW!!!
amyj: But you lost the bet. :P
thomas26: What if I told you I had something to offer you? Kind of like a compromise...
amyj: I'm listening. Type oh sore loser! I give thee permission.
thomas26: Hey! I am being nice here. So no mean-ness.
amyj: Yeah, whatever. Now spill. What is this offer? *acts intrigued*:P
thomas26: I'll give you half of mine in exchange for half of yours. Sound fair?
amyj: I'm going to have to get back to you on that one. Right after I cleverly trick that idiot Jenkins into thinking that I really am working on the report. Gimme a minute.
amyj appears to be offline.
thomas26: This is not fair. You can't just leave me like this. I thought we'd be slackers together- and you kill all my hopes and dreams by pretending to work! *tear*
thomas26: Amy! Come on. My offer was practically irresistible...you know you want it ;)
thomas26: Amy?!
thomas26: :(
amyj has just signed in.
amyj: You're desperate Tommy boy. DESPERATE. Remember, we're in this together. We promised ourselves that yesterday's stash would be our last purchase of the week.
thomas26: I know...but it's only Thursday! :(
amyj: We can do this Thomas. I am pretty sure we can go three days without buying any more of the 'cursed' stuff :P And I'm covered. I mean you're giving me your's too, because of how I won and all.:P
thomas26: Hey! Did you not read the bit about my super-intelligent compromise type plan?
amyj: What plan? Are you trying to get out of giving me what is rightfully mine? You crook!
thomas26: Shut up. And listen/read. I propose we conduct an exchange. I give you half of mine, you give me half of yours. Fair?
amyj: well...I suppose this could be tolerable. But I don't like the green ones. What if my half has only the green ones?
thomas26: Fine. You can pick your half! So do we have a deal?
amyj: I know I am going to regret this Tommy, but....deal! Let me remind you- this is only because I'm stuck being your friend for as long as I can avoid getting fired from this place. And you are forever indebted to me, obviously. Are we clear?
thomas26: Yeah. Whatever. Now get your butt over here. I need my share before you decide to change your mind.
amyj: On second thought, I think I am going to change my mind....;)
thomas26: NO! I'm coming over there. Don't you dare leave me all the horrid blue ones.
amyj: *evil grin*
thomas26: Don't even think about it....

thomas26: You know who we need to pray to? The guys who created Smarties. I mean, seriously. The chocolatey goodness! And the fun of picking out all the pretty colours.
amyj: You know you scare me sometimes. But other times, I am inclined to agree with you. The guy who created gummy bears needs a monument too.
amyj: Hey! I thought we said I wouldn't get any of the green ones. You lied to me!
thomas26: *evil grin* It's all part of the plan Amy. I mean if we want to stick to this 'we-will-only-buy-candy/chocolate-once-a-week' regime, you're going to have to learn to live without the goodness of gummy bears...and that would be the equivalent of sticking a bag of green gummy bears under your nose :D
amyj: I don't think I like you anymore. *tear* It's so green.
thomas26: You lied to me too!!!! There's a blue smarty in here. A blue one! It's so luridly blue....eurgh! How could you?
amyj: This is what is called a fair exchange Tommy boy. And I think I like you again. ;)
