Handwriting Conversation

(8:38) Grayson: i ordered this used book by edward bellamy that i got today and inside it has one of those little things people sometimees write in books
like "to john, the dog that never quit"
but mine didnt say that

(8:39) stonepauper: shit man
what a ripoff

(8:39) Grayson: i think i'll have to write that as an inscription if i ever sell a book
i'll tell you what mine DID say

(8:39) stonepauper: okay, but it's just going to be a disappointment
well...
what did it say?

(8:41) Grayson: "sept 30th, 1897 - Wishing you many returns for the day - from - Mrs. F. E. Winning"

(8:41) stonepauper: sweet

(8:42) Grayson: the hangwriting is all perfect
it looks like a stamp almost
hand*
not hangwriting. thats the extreme sport where people write letters while hanggliding

(8:43) stonepauper: well when you're that old, it's easy to perfect your handwritting

(8:43) Grayson: and then they turn them into little paper airplanes and pass them back and forth to eachother in the air

(8:43) stonepauper: i mean come on, that's the 19th century

(8:43) Grayson: how does that show how old they were?
you mean old school?
yeah the 19th century was pretty old school
i think they shot you if you didn't write really well

(8:44) stonepauper: no man, 1897, they'd have to be at least like 100 and 8 years of age
by now that is

(8:44) Grayson: dude that makes no sense
they signed it in 1897
they didn't sign it today

(8:44) stonepauper: someone that old now, they probably had the same kind of old age thing going back then too

(8:45) Grayson: does your joke actually make sense?
i just dont see it coming together

(8:45) stonepauper: good handwriting is no joke man

(8:45) Grayson: i know that thats not what i meant
GOD thats not what i meant!

(8:45) stonepauper: well being really old is no joke either

(8:45) Grayson: yes it is

(8:45) stonepauper: that's just rude man, rude to the olderly

(8:46) Grayson: thats not how you spell it
if there are multiple old people, its "elderli"

(8:46) stonepauper: they're not eld, they're old
you're thinking of something different
