Calli finds out about a 'Gift Exchange' operation going on among her 'Net friends.
Obie: See, you send someone a gift, & they sent you a gift back. Want to give me a suggestion for your gift?
Calli: Well, I don't want a gift. I don't have money to buy gifts & then send them to people, so there's no point anyway.
Obie: Well, the gift-giving on the part of the sender is entirely optional. Now what would you like me to send you?
Calli: Let me get this straight--you choose to send me a gift, thus making me feel obligated to send you a gift in return. How ulterior-motivated of you. Well, screw that. I don't want anything.
Obie: So in other words, I should just guess.
Calli: Ah, Christmas...'tis the season to be guilt-ridden & broke.
