Support Groups

Woody: "Hi. I'm Woody Thrower, and I answer rhetorical questions."
Hubert: "Hi Woody. Welcome to our support group. Why don't you have a seat?"
Woody: "Hey, I didn't know I had to bring my own. Geez! What kind of support group is this??" (mumble)
Hubert: "It's a support group for people who answer rhetorical questions."
Woody: "That was a rhetorical question."
Hubert: "You think I didn't know that?"
Woody: "No."
(silence)
Woody: "I am just pointing out the obvious failure of the support group."
Hubert: "If you're going to point out the obvious, you'll have to come in on Wednesdays."
(Woody opens his planner, scribbles something down, stands up, and walks out.)

Time passes.

(Wednesday... Woody enters the room. Hubert is sitting right where he left him.)
Woody: "Hey, you're the guy from the support group for people who answer rhetorical questions."
Hubert: "Yes, I know. Just introduce yourself."
Woody: "Hi. I'm Woody Thrower, and I state the obvious."
Hubert: "Just your name would have been fine."
Woody: "I was just doing the standard support-group introduction, admitting my problem openly."
Hubert: (looking irritated) "Obviously."
Woody: "You're not being very supportive."
Hubert: "Mind if we call you Sherlock?"
Woody: "Yes."
Hubert: "Look, now you just answered a rhetorical question. You're mixing the support groups. I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
Woody: "Go ahead and ask."
Hubert: "Could you please leave?"
(Woody just sits silently, fiddling with his planner.)
Hubert: "Well?!"
Woody: "Oh, sorry. I thought that was a rhetorical question."
Hubert: "It was."
(ad nauseam)
