Accidently deleted this text earlier. (Sorry for re-posting)

I hadn't written anything for a while when I wrote this. So I felt I had to write something. So I just wrote this for fun.

It started out as a dialogue between two characters, but turned into something else quite quickly.

/William

Bob 1: So I saw this man today-

Bob 2: What does he look like?

Bob 1: Well I didn't really get to see him

Bob 2: So how do you know it's a man?

Bob 1: Look--Well, I heard his voice

Bob 2: How did his voice sound like?

Bob 1: Well I didn't really listen

Bob 2: So how can you know he is not a she?

Bob 1: Well--Well, I smelled him

Bob 2: It smelled like a man? How does a man smell?

Bob 1: well, he didn’t use any perfume--or Cologne

Bob 2: But you're sure it's a mans smell?

Bob 1: Yes--Well, I was holding my hand over my nose--

Bob 2: So you saw this man today, but you didn't look at him?

Bob 1: Uhuh

Bob 2: You heard his voice but you didn't listen?

Bob 1: Indeed

Bob 2: You smelled him but you were holding your hand over your nose?

Bob 1: Yea, that's right

So, What's your point? With all this talk about someone you didn't really see, hear or smell, is-is-is this some sort a crazy joke?

No, of course not, I am 100% serious!

Well--Jesus, why are you telling me all this?

He wanted me to

Who? Are you out of your mind!? Who!

He's standing right in front of me!

I can't see anybody in front of you

You! You're standing in front of me

So it was me all along?

No, but you just said--

Forget what I said, get to the point- Your frickin Punch line already!

All right All right. Get this. The point of the gag is; it is nobody, but everybody. It is not you or them, but both of you. It is neither of us, but both of us. And it is neither of them but all of them--

What the hell are you on about? You're crazy!

It is the non-existence of the existence.

Jesus, you're nuts!

Just because you're mad at me don't take it out on Jesus--

I think you know what I meant--

I do. But do you?

Well it was me who said it, and I was not referring to the religion. Jesus is a name, you know and a common expression.

Yeah, like I'm THAT stupid?

I think you are.

And you are right.

I am?

No but you are

What?

You heard me

But it makes no frickin sense!?

That's right. You finally realized it.

And?

Nothing. I'm going now.

But--What-wait!

Why? I made my point

Which was?

The point of the existence is to not exist in the non-existence’s existence.

You might as well go.

Good. Now you might as well just close the mirror and go back to bed.

Yea I will--Wait a minute! How do you know I'm in my bathroom?

I've been standing here in front of you all the time. You were the guy I meant.

I was the guy you meant?

I was the one I meant about you being the you I saw.

I don't believe you. You don't exist.

That's right.

I am not here, you are not here, for you and I exist only in our imagination.

/The End

Good I liked it. I liked how the Bob1 and Bob2 dropped off as their identities and existence became merged. 
 
I thought this section was comedy not philosophy :)

Ha ha - very funny. Was this a student of psychology - or was he studying philosophy? Trying to prove his own existence was not just all in his own mind? You could ask yourself: "Are you sure you're alive - or are you just part of someone else's dream?" Difficult to prove - but you do know you've had a review from me, whoever I am. ha ha Happy writing
