Two Poles

Two men met in a park. One was the Positive Man. The other was the Negative Man.

They exchanged salutations, and, as they do everyday, begin exchanging their views on life.

The Negative Man asks, "What do you think really makes the world go round?"

The Positive Man says, "The pull of the Sun's gravity, of course!"

The Negative Man communicated in a way that can only be expressed on text as, "..."

The Positive Man picked up on this. "Oh you mean figuratively?"

The Negative Man replies in a voice that kills pans, causing it to be deadpan. "No I meant it literally. The Sun's gravity makes the world go round? Wow I did not know."

The Positive Man moved on from the Negative Man's sarcastic reply. "You know what I personally think?"

"No I don't. That's why I asked, idiot."

The Positive Man smiled, and said, "I think love makes the world go around." The Negative Man was about to throw another sarcastic reply, but the Positive Man went on, "You know, if you rearrange EARTH, you get HEART, and that my friend, is what makes the world go round."

The Negative Man showed rather blatantly that he was not impressed with what his companion said. "No. If you rearrange EARTH you get AR! THE."

"AR! THE?"

"Yes, AR! THE, which is short for AR! THE EVILS OF MONEY! That's what makes the world goes round." The Negative Man had on his face a grave expression. "People strive for money! It's to the point that people get judged for the amount of money they have! Sometimes, people kill for money! It's disgusting!"

"Perhaps you are right. But I do believe that beneath all that is love. It's why people work hard for money. So they can feed their families. Or take their significant others out for a nice romantic dinner," said the Positive Man, smiling.

"You know what you get when you rearrange HPUCN? You get PUNCH and that's what I'll do to you if you continue your sappy fucking speech."

The Positive Man glared at his friend. "Yes well, looks like someone's Mommy never hugged them enough."

The Negative Man sighed. "That is true."
