Valid.
“Okay, fair. That’s good. My confidence in you and your survival abilities has skyrocketed.”
“What about you?” Knox queried.
“My TV stays on theDiscovery Channel.”
“Really?” he asked, sounding impressed.
“Yes, Knox, really.”
“Hmph. I took you more for—”
“Let me stop you right there, Knox Hamilton Ramsey. I swear to God, if you sayBET, OWN, The Impact Network, Zeus,or any other heavily melanated television station, then I’mkilling you. When I’m rescued, I’ll tell them you died on impact, and that impact was my fist.”
Knox cleared his throat and shifted on his feet. “I was going to sayLifetimesince you’re so dramatic.”
“Mhm.Lifetimemy ass. Keep playing with your lifeline, Knox.”
“Is this a bad time to tell you that I’m still turned on?”
I looked down once again and sighed.

“Let me rephrase. What seems to be the problem?” I asked.
“The kid here thinks it’s a great idea to split up,” Knox informed me as he ripped off what was left of his dingy white dress shirt, leaving behind his white undershirt and bulging biceps and forearms.
“Split up?” I asked in disbelief when I finished objectifying my boss. “What kind of Scooby Doo bullshit are you on? We will not be splitting up,” I insisted.
“We need to find a water source,” Knox mentioned.
“But we also need to find food and look to see if there are other inhabitants. We can divide and conquer and split the tasks,” Josh expressed.
I see I need to speak to this man like those silly little interns we get that can’t tell their ass from a hole in the wall.
