Dude and Dude: Credit Billity
“Hey dude!”
“What?”
“How do you pronounce the ‘B’ in debt?”
“‘B’ as in ‘bounce’, dude? So help me, if you bounce a check …”
“Bounce a what?”
“A check, dude.”
“I don’t care where he’s from, dude. I ain’t gonna try ‘n bounce him. You think I could throw a fly out of a bar?”
“Not a dude Czech, dude! A bank check!”
“One of those paper thingies? They don’t bounce, dude. Not even if you ball ’em up do they make a ball. You even know what one looks like? I thought you paid for all your stuff online, like I do.”
“Whatever you do, dude, remember, we gotta look after our credit ratings.”
“No, dude. I won’t.”
“What?!?”
“I won’t be part of your spam schemes, dude. You want some dude to write your ‘You’ve won 1 million pounds in Welsh Lotto‘ comeons, you’ll have to get somebody else. Or do ’em yourself.”
“Dude, what are you smokin’?!? I ain’t doin’ no spam schemes!”
“But didn’t you just say that we gotta be lookin’ after our credit raidings?”
“Oh fer … Dude, that’s gotta be …”
“‘B’ is right, dude. You ain’t answered my question yet. How do you pronounce the ‘B’ in ‘debt’?”
“You don’t, dude. The ‘B’ is silent.”
“It’s not an ‘N’, dude, it’s a ‘B’! An’ I wanna know what it’s there for!”
“To remind certain dudes of my acquaintance that they’re gonna get stung if they don’t pay their bills. Dude.”
“Ow …”

I actually thought for a moment that “comeon” was some kind of Welsh currency pronounced “Koh-me-yon.” If it were true, the Amoeba would have known about it somehow. But if it were a Welsh currency two of the three vowels would have been “c”s.
the “b” is silent because he is resting on the lawn chair at my place.
