“Hey, Bud! What’s up with you these days?”
“Well if it isn’t ol’ Bud! Good to see you!”
“Didn’t I see Bud around here somewhere?” 
“I think Bud had to leave.” 
“How would you bloomin’ know?” 
“Oh, come on. We all leave eventually! This the natural course of events, the reason for our being, an integral part of our fruitful mission!”
“All I know is she ain’t leaving until she fills up my food dish!”
How Would You Do It?
