G&M

"Hmmmm... that's a lovely picture of a sunset" said G to himself, while a man walking by, stops, and hesitates for a moment "Uh... it's not" says he, "Oh yes it is!" says G, "I'm afraid it's not" says M. G is puzzled now, "What isn't it? Lovely, a picture or a sunset?" "Difficult to say really" examines M, "I mean, a picture it is, lovely, perhaps, but a sunset? I don't think so", incredulous G is taken aback "Say it's not lovely, say even that it's not a picture, but... a sunset! Now that is exactly what it is!". "I'm afraid not sir, i assure you" retorts M. G takes another look at the picture to make sure, he sees the sun, and it is indeed setting "See here" he says pointing, "This would be, infact, the afore mentioned sun" says G speaking slowly and deliberately, "and here" pointing again, "we notice that it is... what's the word now?" says G frowning as though trying to remember something, "ah yes, setting. What do you think?" says G picking up the picture and looking at it from all angles. M is not looking at it now and remarkably does not seem put off by G's patronising tone. There's a silence for a few seconds as neither of them seem to... "Look" says G, "you seem to speak with an element of confidence, and by your tone i see that perhaps you might be a person to be reckoned with in your line of work, and so..." G takes a breath, "With all due respect, and please note, i do not respect easily, but with all due respect, i just fail to comprehend, understand your insisting that this is not a sunset." "It is not with the intention of causing confusion that i speak to you" says M calmly, "But... i find it necerssary to point out to you, that that" indicating the picture, "is indeed not a sunset". G gets a bright idea, "Then what is it? Hmmm? Go on then... tell me what it is..." shoots forth G, thinking that he once again has the upper hand. "Well, i did not take the picture, so i can't quite say. I see some colours of course, some rather lovely ones, blue, purple, violet, red, yellow, gold... quite beautiful really." says M admiringly, "Who took it?". "I did" says G, feeling numb now. "And i assure you, that when i took it, the sun was there" spits out G gesturing with his hands to show the obvious, "and whats more... it was... setting!!" M takes another look at the picture "Ah yes, i see what you mean, the sun... hmmmm... and it does look like it's setting... yes it does" says a triumphant M. "Huh?" half grunts G, incredulous once again. "Yes, you see here" says M pointing, "this would be the sun, and you notice how close it is to the horizon, well, that's a sunset you see there." G is speechless. "Quite a lovely picture really", smiles M as he walks off whistling to himself.
