Me: No that’s too Wild West. I’m not writing an historical here.
Mr. Al: A derringer is Wild West?
Me: It’s too classy for this guy. I need something modern. And small.
Mr. Al: Right. A “pocket pistol.”
Me: *arching an eyebrow enquiringly.*
Mr. Al: I’m combing my hair here. See? See me combing my hair? *flicks comb through long gray strands at the front.* I’ll let you know when I think of it.
Me: Okay. *flouncing off to computer.* But make it quick because I’m in the middle of the word right now.
