We here at Dances With Bass Industries pride ourselves on being creative, intelligent and funny. Those things are in our DNA, as is evidenced by this conversation with the Resident Seven-Year-Old:

Eric: “Papa, what would you do if an alligator tried to eat me?”
Me: “Well, we papas are pretty tough. I’d smack him right on the nose and make him run away.”
Eric: “You don’t look very tough.”
Me: <puffing my chest out until it made my back hurt> “Well, looks are deceiving, especially when we’re talking about alligators trying to snarf a papa’s little boy. We papas are surprisingly tough in situations like that.”
Eric: “What if the alligator ate both of your arms?”
Me: “Then I would kick the alligator until it ran away.”
Eric: “What if the alligator then ate both of your legs?”
Me: <Resisting the urge to yell, “It’s just a flesh wound!”> “Well, then I’d bite that alligator until it ran away.”
Eric: “What if the alligator also ate your head?”
Me: “Well, in that case, I think we can probably assume that if the alligator has now eaten my arms, legs and head, that it would be sufficiently full and not need to eat you, too.”
Eric: Well, I’d probably run away by then.”
Me: “Good call.”

Now, I promise you that as funny as we are here at DWB Industries, we’ve not yet allowed the smallest member of the corporate staff to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. However, given the parallels between our conversation and the following timeless clip, I’m not so sure he hasn’t managed to see this clip somewhere.
