     ”Good one.” Whether it was meant to be a joke,
or whether it was meant to be insulting, it had little
effect. Ted didn’t have a mother. Not one he cared
about, and not one to lend half of her DNA. The 
joke simply made him re-question the broken nose.

   “ So, you agree ———you think
       your mom’s a  good bang? ”

               He honestly couldn’t give a shit about the flabby hole
               this bro’s head may or may have not fallen out of, or
              even how biting his comebacks were(n’t)…
       Ricardo’d had a little too much rock & roll to be
       any kind of witty in the current moment.
