"You're right, I do owe you an explanation," Drake admitted,"But you probably won't believe it."
"Try me," came Pat's reply.
"Earlier today, I bought some old lamp at a junk shop. I thought it was just a movie prop or something, but it looked interesting, and it was only five bucks. Turns out, it was a real-life genie lamp."
"So this genie did this to you?" asked Pat, who looked as if she wasn't sure whether or not to believe Drake's incredible tale.
"Yeah. I made a wish. Kind of a dumb wish, actually. Beldazarr, the genie, can only change bodies and minds. So I thought it would be fun to be the Hulk, and rip out of my clothes. I just wanted to try it out, you see? But I just kept growing, because my socks hadn't gotten ripped off yet. I totally forgot that feet don't bulk up the way that other parts of the body do!"
"You also forgot that socks are stretchy," Pat added.
"Right, I... You believe me?"
"It's a ridiculous story," explained Pat, "but it's as good an explanation as any for the way you look right now. No one gets as big as you do by normal means, not even with lots of steroids."
"Yeah, I guess there's no way this could happen normally," Drake agreed. Then he laughed, "Damn, I need to get myself out of this mess."
