as good a time as any

i said, hey andy what do you want to drink?
andy said, i'll take a bottle of pop, if you don't mind.
i said, a bottle of of what?
andy said, pop, if it wouldn't be too much trouble.
and i said, what are you from the heartland all of a sudden? that's how they talk there but we're in jersey in case ya didn't know.
and andy said, well i've decided i want to vacation in decatur city, iowa and figured this is as good a time as any to start practicing the language—besides i don't want to come across as just another ugly jerseyan.
