Someone pointed out to me that I hadn’t disclosed the entire story in my previous post.
The truth is, my friend’s real name isn’t Logan; we just call him that because he looks like Wolverine. To that end, he is the recipient of lots of Weapon X-related teasing. Like the day I looked at his hand and asked him, “Does it hurt?” He of course blew his line (“Every time.”).
So when I asked him his favorite onomatopoeia, it wasn’t an interrogative question: it was a setup. No matter what he answered, my reply was pre-planned:
“I would have thought it was snikt!”
He didn’t really find it that humorous. But I guess I wouldn’t either if I had an adamantium-encased skeleton.
