I never swam so hard in my life. Frantically I made my way toward the edge putting arm over arm, paddling and pushing and burrowing my way through the lake of melted cheese as an all-out attack of enormous tortilla chips plunged into the basin all around me, scooping up mounds of the surface and quickly retreating miles up into the sky only to be followed seconds later by the next strike. Both giants were completely oblivious to my cries to get their attention, fully engrossed in their own conversation and satiating their hunger of the moment. Larry laughed as Moe recounted how he had bullied our intern John into giving him credit for a discovery John had made earlier that week. Yeah, that was a $10k bonus I secured right there, he grinned as he took another chip and ran it around the perimeter of the bowl, causing a whirlpool effect which dragged me unwillingly right back toward the center again. Larrys hand suddenly appeared and scooped a big wad right behind me, hurdling me forward on a tidal wade of cheese as his chip scraped the bottom of the bowl before beginning to rise up the side, and me along with it. I frantically made my way towards the waterfall flowing off the left side and thankfully dove into it just before Larry moved the chip beyond the side of the bowl.
