Hubster: Oh, that reminds me of the quote by Hemingway about hunting.
Me: Wait, what?
H: You know, a man who hunts other men never cares about anything later.
M: I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you SURE it's by Hemingway?
H: Look it up!
M: (straight to google) man hunting quote hemingway... hmmm. Here it is! There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.
H: See. Told ya.
M: How do you know that quote?
H: Oh the guys in Fallujah spray painted it on the wall and put those thingies on either side of his name. (makes a motion with both hands in the air.)
M: Quotation marks?
H: Noooo.
M: Parenthesis?
H: That's the word.
M: So, you know the whole quote. You know it was Hemingway. But you can't remember the word parenthesis?
