Can I buy you a drink?

In discussing the misapplication of scientific principals and logical reasoning to the inevitably irrational side of the human experience:

John: "Can you say that another way?"
Josh: "What?"
John: "You don't have to say it like that, you can say that much simpler."
Josh: "It's like sipping from the firehose, man, it's just how it comes out."
John: "Ok, well, how would you say that...to like, a girl at a bar?"
Josh: "Well, we have a problem already, I wouldn't be saying that to a girl at a bar."
John: "Yeah."
Josh: "Though it'd probably come out more like, 'So where would you like to most like to travel?'"

Apparently my odd way of speaking has only gotten odder.
