Jake tells Francine about his encounter with Larry and Tom in his continuing quest to find things to write about that he thinks that she will think are interesting in the emails they've been sending back and forth. Most of the time he's surprised she doesn't think he's an idiot, but she keeps writing back so he must be doing something right. She's online, so she sends him an instant message in reply, and Jake hears a ring and a window pops up on his screen.
Franzine: Hi! Since you were online, I figured this would be easier than email.
FromPartsUnknown: Hello!
Franzine: Your email points out the danger of the conspiratorial mindset. You start seeing enemies everywhere, and every little, coincidental thing starts to become part of a larger, deliberate pattern.
FromPartsUnknown: I think it's a conspiracy that all the bookstores are going the way of record and video stores. I still like to read on paper.
Franzine: A few will hang in there. It's just that most of what they sell can be more easily downloaded.
FromPartsUnknown: I know. If I ever start a business, I'm going to sell stuff that smells. As far as I can tell, smells can't be downloaded. Nor can stuff that tastes and feels. If it can be heard or seen, then it can be downloaded.
Franzine: I'm actually glad things that smell can't be downloaded. There's enough stuff that stinks online figuratively without stuff literally stinking as well!
FromPartsUnknown: The worst smell I've smelled lately is the gym where I'm training for wrestling. I think skunks avoid the place because it smells so blad.
FromPartsUnknown: Sorry for the typo! That's supposed to be bad. I don't know what blad is.
Franzine: That's all right. Maybe it's short for bladder. Along those lines, I should log off because my blad is sending me a message on my nervemail.
FromPartsUnknown: No problem! I have to get ready for a job interview I have today anyway. It's at a cosmetics factory. I hope it smells god in there.
FromPartsUnknown: Good! Sorry!
Franzine: No worries! Good luck with the interview! Perhaps it will be very glamorous working in a makeup factory. I look forward to your blogs about it.

Franzine: Um, what?
FromPartsUnknown: Sorry! Cat got on the keyboard. I think she wanted to say hi!
Franzine: Hello, cat!
FromPartsUnknown: I gotta go! Nice chatting with you again! Talk to you soon!
Franzine: Ciao, meow!
