Gary sat on the couch in his house watching a boring daytime television show. He was kind of thirsty and walked to the kitchen to get a drink. He opened the refrigerator door to see his bottle of soda arguing with a long forgotten pack of cigarettes.
“Forget it, Packman,” said the bottle of soda. “He’s never coming back to you. I’m the only vice he has now.”
“He’ll come back Bottleneck,” said Packman. “Just wait until he’s had a bad night at work and he’ll take me up again.”
“Yeah, and how many times has that happened over the last 17 years,” said Bottleneck. “He’s tried to ditch me countless times, but he always comes back. Oh look there he is now.”
Gary tried to resist, but his will was weak and he reached into the fridge and took out the bottle of Pepsi.
“See ya Packman,” yelled Bottleneck.
Gary closed the door to the fridge and said aloud, “I need serious help. This stuff is talking to me now. Even worse, it’s getting into arguments in the fridge.”
Gary shook his head and returned to the couch.
