I’m in the radio network studio, all set to run a show on the Beatles. Everything seems fine, I’m prepared with a show script (handwritten, word by word – exactly what I want to say). Chizh (who looks a lot like my ex Vlad) has already turned on the mic. I begin reading, only to suddenly realize that I’m reading something about 1329. It says exactly, “in 1328 The Beatles….” Chizh-Vlad turns off my mic and starts yelling at me. I respond by asking him to stop yelling – after all, I’m hosting a show for him! I threaten to leave if he doesn’t stop. Then, I punch him in the head, right in the forehead! He goes flying against the window.
He immediately softens from the blow and turns the mic back on. I return to my notes, pondering how to recover from the mention of 1328, because for some reason, I resume reading about it on air. So, I come up with a fake quote from some fake ancient speaker who could potentially have been active in the 14th century. From there, I circle back to uniting us all – Beatles lovers: Chizh-Vlad, myself, and our sound engineer (responsible for broadcasting). I approach the engineer, and he introduces himself. I don’t remember his first name, but his last name was Vasiliev.
As I begin speaking again, I realize that I don’t know what to say. Chizh saves the moment by starting a very intelligent speech with the following line:
— There are three types of standing.
I respond in complete shock:
— Which are – standing, laying, and sitting.
At that moment, engineer Vasiliev starts marching in one spot and flapping his arms. I comment on what he’s doing on air:
— Our engineer is currently marching, but I am positive it’s not standing. It’s walking.
Then I wake up and start thinking: why are laying and sitting considered types of standing? And is crushing a type of standing, as an alternative to laying?
