Some Good Ol' Stories

There are a coupla stories that I like to tell because they're somewhat cutesy wootsey(?) and appropriate for all ages. I think I'll even add in a new one because I found it hilarious. Mmkay, here goes:

1. As many of you know, I have a subscription to Blockbuster online, which allows me to rent a monstrous mountain of movies. I even get to rent movies that I otherwise probably wouldn't see, like "Brokeback Mountain." One Monday night a coupla months ago, I was engrossed in said film, and a friend of mine IMed me asking me if I wanted to join him to watch Monday Night Football. I told him I was busy watching Brokeback and I would rather do that. Obviously he won't let me hear the end of it. A few weeks later he said something like, "hey, remember that time I asked you if you wanted to do something really manly with me and you decided to watch 'Brokeback' instead?" Never gonna live it down.

2. Another one of my friends likes to remind me of one of the first jokes I ever made to her. I forget what the context was, but apparently she was wearing a jean skirt and a jean jacket. I said something along the lines of "do you have any idea how many poor denims they had to kill to make that outfit?" The highest of high comedy. Onto the new story!

3. Last night we went to our new building to have a meeting with their co-op management board in their package room. On the door to the package room hangs a list of all the apartments in the building with three check boxes next to each. The boxes are there to indicate what kind of pests reside in the corresponding apartment. The boxes read "rodents," "insects," and "other." Now, all of the apartments that have pests have the "insects" box checked, except for one. That apartment had the "other" box checked, and on the line next to the "other" box is written a single word: "monsters." They nearly had to call the board to tell them to come another night because I was in absolutely no condition to meet with anyone for the next 10-15 minutes. Great times all around in the new building. Should bode well for things to come.
