Monthly Archives: November 2007

Today at work,

I wanted to put up a sign over my desk that says,
“No, I’m not fine. Quit asking me!”

a conversation between co-workers

A: That man reminds me of Earl from Cornbread, Earl and Me. Have you ever seen that one?

A: You should watch it. It’s a good movie.

I’ve not ever seen Cornbread, Earl and Me. Have you?
