AWPC

Well, not quite an actual workplace conversation. It happened in the parking lot after work. I park next to a Suzuki sport bike every day. He and I are the only riders on the shift. Our bikes are like Yin and Yang. His is bright and shiny yellow. Mine is long, black, and marks its territory. Most nights my bike starts in two or three kicks. Tonight it took seven. Then I listened to him pushing the starter.

Me: Wow. That was about seven kicks right there.
Him: I know.

He pressed the button a few more times and it eventually started.

Him: Damn. That would have been at least 30 kicks. Can you imagine having to actually kick it that many times?
Me: Oh yeah. I can imagine that just fine.
