“Go play in traffic” was my maternal uncles’ favorite retort when us kids were being annoying in the ’80s.
Anyway, one might wonder why Noah doesn’t ask Ruth whether she’d prefer a Danzig physique or a Jagger one… but she might tell him Bono, in which case Noah’s kinda already there.
Side note: in Bill Flanagan’s book U2: At the End of the World, there’s a passage mentioning how Bono would call Robert Plant “The Tall Cool One” after Plant’s ’80s hit of the same name. Plant, in turn, referred to Bono as “The Short Fat One.” Not very nice, but then by those standards Noah could scarf down some guilt-free cheeseburgers and sprinkle donuts if he likes.
