"Honey, Mr. Bee is not from dimensional space, so his attempts at humor will be different from ours. But he is not harmful. He never has been."
"Yes darling, but when he turned your face blue, it was just for an afternoon, and Mrs. Simmons wasn't bothered by rhyming every other word over that 3 day weekend. She said it felt novel. She is a poet, after all, and she still teaches him poetic theory on Wednesdays."
"I will talk to Mr. Bee and remind him, most firmly."
The caller then noticed me, after he had placed his phone in his pocket. "I do apologize if my conversation was too loud."
I shook my head.
"In any case, our lab is funded though the public, and anyone is welcome to attend ... a totally open and above board program, with no hidden agendas."
I nodded.
"Here is my card, you are welcome to drop by anytime and talk to the Departments."
I raised my eyebrows.
"Oh, the Departments? Time, Space, Novelty, Linear Theories, Circular, Things, Clouds, Weather, and Harmony."
The train pulled up to the station.
"Goodbye!" said the caller with the card.
