Best laid plans

What a stupid idea.

No, it’s not! You’re just mad that you didn’t think of it.

If I had thought of it, I would have enough sense to not run it by anyone.

What do you mean?

Well, it’s a strange dichotomy. Either A: You value my judgment and sanity enough to let me know about this inane scheme of yours, or B: You just don’t care if anyone thinks of you as completely insane or mortally stupid.

I do value your friendship. Please tell me why you think it’s a stupid idea.

Ok, I’ll bite. Say you end up hijacking a zoo shipment full of spider monkeys and ferrets. AND you end up training them in both cat burglary and the ways of the ninja. There’s no way you’ll be able to get them into the Federal Reserve Building. And if they did get in, how are they going to carry out all the gold bricks? They aren’t strong enough!

(Pulls out a brick from his coat) Oh yeah? Now who’s the insane one?

Dude, that’s just a stale maple bar.
