Actual Things That People Have Said To Me Today

I'm just sitting at my desk, minding my own business, and people have come over to tell me (ask me) the following:

1) "Johnny Law cut us some break."

2) "Her computer was making funny noises and she thought it was going to blow up. [dramatic pause] Her flowers were sitting on the escape key."

3) "Can I order some stilts?"

  1. Boy, I wish someone would say that first one to me. I could use a laugh.

  2. Well, I guess it's good that the computer didn't actually explode...

  3. I'm curious about the stilts. Any day that involves stilts has to be goofier than average.

    You don't keep stilts in stock?

    And hey! (If I may butt in to an old twitter convo) Laurie Berkner is fun - though she's only on my radio, not my TV.

    Well, I've actually done the second one, but not with flowers. With a book.

  15. I had to come back and tell you...the stilts have me stumped. Really, I thought about them into the wee hours. Out of context, it's such a curious question!
