Crazy man: Who wants a transfer?

Crazy woman, raising hand and turning around: I do!

Crazy man, spitting food: I like yo’ braids.

Crazy woman: Thanks. [Crazy man flashes his bling.] Hahaha!

Crazy man: Yeah, these cost 70 grand, but I got ’em for 39. [Crazy woman ignores him.] I strut when I walk — e’ryday.

Stupid CoWorkers

I used to work for a law firm that was stuck in the 40’s — that’s the only description. We didn’t have a postage meter because the office manager (a 70 year old long-time bookkeeper they had promoted because of her frugal ways) said those just cost money. So each of the 10 secretaries had a little box like for fishing tackle and in it, various denominations of stamps. If you just needed to mail one letter, well no problem there. But I had a case with 167 parties and everything ever filed in it was at least in a large envelope. Every one of those parties got a copy of every piece of paper filed. I would routinely spend an ENTIRE DAY after every filing applying stamps to these large envelopes.

Stupid Criminals

MONROE — A man and woman robbed a busy Starbucks early yesterday morning and wound up serving coffee through the drive-up window for at least 30 minutes to make additional cash. They then waited until business slowed enough to make a getaway.

Neither police nor Starbucks would say how much money the pair made off with.

Police arrested two suspects Tuesday night after trailing their car from the Lake Stevens area to a service station. A witness identified the pair as the barista bandits, police said in a news release.

No one was injured in the early-morning holdup, and no property was damaged, said Jan O’Neil, Monroe police spokeswoman. But the incident was “weird and stressful” for the employees.

White teen: Everyone has a MySpace.

Asian teen: I don’t have a MySpace.

White teen: You don’t got a MySpace? Why not?

Asian teen: ‘Cause it’s the easiest way to meet sexual predators.

White teen, laughing: Nah, don’t worry. You ain’t ever gonna meet any sexual predators — you’re ugly.
