Girls vs. Boys
Kiki: Does it make me a bad person that I have about a 3% interest in the Olympics?
Alan: No.
Kiki: Well, that’s not true, I have more of a 6% interest. There are a couple of events I like to watch, like figure skating and rhythmic dancing.
Alan: You are the most stereotypical girl ever.
Kiki: What?!
Alan: Generally speaking, you’re not very stereotypical. But in this case, you are the most stereotypical girl ever.
Kiki: Whatever. What events do you like?
Alan: I like the weird ones, personally.
Kiki: Like curling?
Alan: No, like the biathalon. Skiing and shooting.
Kiki: WHAT?!
Alan: Yeah, they ski around and then they stop and shoot rifles for awhile.
Kiki: You’re making this up.
Alan: No, it really exists.
Kiki: It makes no sense. Biathalon means like running and swimming. -athalon means there has to be running.
Alan: Wikipedia: “… biathlon usually refers specifically to the winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting.”
Kiki: ?!
Alan: What about the pentathalon? “The events are epee fencing, pistol shooting, 200 m freestyle swimming, a show jumping course on horseback, and a 3 km cross-country run.”
Kiki: What?! So it’s basically the James Bond event?
Alan: Yeah, basically.
