I can't stand him any longer.

Jan:

What's going on between you and Gary? Did you guys have a fight or something?

Andy:

I can't stand him any more. He has such a short fuse that even a little piece of friendly advice sets him off.

Jan:

So what did you tell him?

Andy:

I told him that if he could be more patient and try not to lose his temper so easily, he would be more popular.

Jan:

No wonder he threw a fit. His popularity is really a sore spot.

Andy:

Well, I guess I'll just keep my mouth shut. That'll teach me to give advice!

Jan:

Not unless you want to die!
