Rules 56 to 60
George & Nora
Rule 56: Don't criticize Nora's tastes when we talk about decorating.
- It is her job and she cannot take constructive comment well.
- Especially if the comment consists of something along the lines of "Uh, what is this horror!"
- For those of you who were wondering why George has slept on the sofa for a week now…
- Remember, an ugly thing can be pretty (in a strange way that only women or gays can understand).
Rule 57: Leave Nora to her crazy plans.
- Sometime, she arrives with some odd ideas, like becoming a housewife.
- Even if her idea sounds great, you can be sure the future will prove the opposite.
- But there is nothing you can do about it, just wait until she evacuates it (whatever it is) out of her system.
Rule 58: When she has a nervous breakdown, act as if it's nothing.
- Any memories of the cooking incident? No? See Rule 32 then.
- Anyway, you will become accustom after awhile.
Rule 59: Talk reverently of the Prince when George is around.
- And by Prince, we don't mean Derek (anyway, he's more a King), Prince is a
car.
- Though, "car" isn't the best term to describe Prince, "antiquity" would be
closer to reality, but this word is still too charitable.
Rule 60: Don't abuse George's credulity.
- Only his family is allowed to abuse him.
- Ed: "Not in a sexual way, of course."
- Liz: "Except for Nora."
- Ed: "Yuck. Shut up! They don't do the that."
- Liz: "Come on Edwin, you're old enough for…
- Ed: "Lalalalalalala. I hear nothing!"
- Liz: "You're so immature. I withdraw what I said, you're not old enough."
- Ed: "Lalalala… What? Do you say something?"
