Jan: What's going on between you and Gary?  Did you guys have a fight or something?

 

Andy: I can't stand him any more!  He has such a short fuse that even a little piece of friendly advice sets him off.

 

Jan: So what did you tell him?

 

Andy: I told him that if he could be more patient and try not to lose his temper so easily, he would be more popular.

 

Jan: No wonder he threw a fit.  His popularity is really a sore spot.

 

Andy: Well, I guess I'll just keep my mouth shut.  That'll teach me to give advice!

 

Jan: Not unless you want to die!
