The Raft

I paid Bill the Google Master a visit. He and Sergio were at it again. It seems they can’t have a conversation without yelling at each other. Sergio speaks loudly to begin with. He has no finesse whatsoever. He can make your ears bleed from a distance.

Bill enjoys teasing Sergio. I'm a witness to the abuse. Sometimes, I’ll chime in and tease him as well. It's kind of fun.
Sergio is from Cuba, so we make jokes about “the raft.” He’s a good sport about it, sometimes he’ll even laugh himself.
                Bill and Sergio have a homophobic banter between them. Sergio likes to hug Bill and Bill resists his affection vigorously.

“Have you ever been with a man?” Bill asked.

“No never!” Sergio answered.

“Not even on the raft?” I chimed in.

“No, not even on the raft!” Sergio yelled-spoke.

The two disappeared into the shop. I was sitting underneath a canopy where customers wait for their cars. A short time later I saw Bill backing out of the shop.

             “How many times have I told you, don’t grab my ass!
