Why did the elephants get kicked out of the public pool?

text;

[shacklebreaker]

Because the lifeguards finally acknowledged there were elephants in the room?

text;

[psycholawgy]

No... because they kept dropping their trunks!!!

:D

text;

[shacklebreaker]

If only text could convey my groan of dismay.

[psycholawgy]

Why did the police officer smell?

text;

[shacklebreaker]

No doubt you'll enlighten me.

text;

[psycholawgy]

Because he was on duty!!

Unfortunately, that joke only works when read in an American accent.

[psycholawgy]

Aren't you American?
Anyway, are you still coming over on the 24th?

text;

[shacklebreaker]

That depends. Will I be pelted with inane jokes if I agree?

text;

[psycholawgy]

Not on my end.
I'm just hoping you haven't changed your mind.

text;

[shacklebreaker]

I haven't. I would like to see you.

text;

[psycholawgy]

I'll accept it if that's the truth.
Please don't push people away anymore!

A man wrestling with his demons makes for poor company.
I thought to spare you from it.

text;

[psycholawgy]

You'll hurt yourself even more if you continue doing that!
I can hear what people feel! I can't be "spared" from "it" even if I wanted to. And I don't. Please remember that.

I'm truly grateful for all you've done for me, Athena. But I've been a burden enough for you for far too long.
Are you certain this is what you want?

text;

[psycholawgy]

Just because you're free now doesn't mean I'll stop wanting to help you. So please don't think that.

text;

[shacklebreaker]

Know that I only wish for you to do what makes you happy. If my presence does make you unhappy, or you persist out of nothing more than a sense of obligation, then you are welcome to leave me behind at any time. After all your toil, you deserve to live a life of your own.

That is all.

text;

[psycholawgy]

I don't ever see any of that happening. I think we have a lot to catch up on, but you're still one of the closest people to me.
I think I should be telling you this in person, but I'll leave you alone for now.

text;

[shacklebreaker]

Very well.
The attempts to bolster my mood were noted, by the way. Feeble as they were, the thought is appreciated.

text;

[psycholawgy]

There will be more where that came from if you push me away.

text;

[shacklebreaker]

I will admit, it is a fault of mine I ought rectify. There is no use in trying to spare the feelings of others, if it only results in more anguish for them.

text;

[psycholawgy]

[ For shame!! ]

It would be difficult to fix something like that right away, but don't worry, okay?
And I hope your day goes smoothly.

text;

[shacklebreaker]

Yours as well.
