Rat: I hate the guy sitting next to you. Goat: Do you even know him? Rat: No. It's the 'three or more affectations' rule. Goat: What's that? Rat: An affection is something you do that is designed to impress others. Goat: I know what an affectation is. What's it have to do with hating someone? Rat: If a guy has three or more affectations from the neck up.I know he's the kind of idiot I'd hate. Goat: So what counts as an affectation. Rat: Earrings. Tattoos. Piercings. Stylish hats. Coiffed hair. Sideburns, goatees, handlebar mustaches, designer glasses... And the more he has, the more of a @#$@# he is. Pastis: Hey, guys... Guess who got a new look. Goat: I guess that rule always right every time always. Rat: Yep. Pastis: Do you like the beret better?
