Bill is feeling...um...okay...
Actual dialog.
"Bill! How do you feel?"
"Weak and shaky. An overwhelming metallic taste in my mouth."
"Do you want to dictate anything else I can tell your pals?"
"No I do not. Oh, wait. Green Bay just won. You can tell them that."
"Bill: What symptoms do you have?"
"I feel feverish, but I'm not. Metallic taste. Weak and shaky. That's all I got for you!"
"Man, can't you say something funny?"
"Green Bay beat Dallas."
"You are a dud."
"Okay. Here: After this spring I want to be known as Bladderless Bill."
Wow. Sorry, peeps. That's all he will say.
You can lead a Packer fan to a blog, but you can't make him something something.
Okay, I wasn't sure how to finish that sentence, so I asked Bill.
"Bill. What word could I put there? 'You can lead a Packer fan to a blog but you can't make him' WHAT?"
"Punt. You can't make him punt."
"PUNT? That makes sense? You can't make him PUNT? People will get that? No one will get that. I'm going to write down that you suggested that but I'm going to indicate that I wasn't really behind it."
Done.

It makes perfect sense.
ReplyDeleteTo punt is to kick the ball as far and hard as possible. You snapped, you set it up and he refused to make the effort to kick it and get the game going for you. ;)
