We were going to hire Guido...

Office hijinks...

So to 25 year old Kenny, there is little more important than his wheels. He drives some kind of fancy sports car - sleek black. My fat ass can barely even fit in it. But, alas, someone dinged it last week and he had to take it in for repair. He got a rental car...

Oh the humiliation - a Buick.
"What color?"
"I don't even remember, it's a Buick, what can it matter?"

He's been moaning about this all day but his best line was: "It doesn't matter how old you are, when you are behind the wheel of that car, you are automatically 75 years old."

And then, from the neighboring cube farm - the dev engineers, a cellphone keeps going off. The ringtone is particularly odious. The first couple of times, we ignored it. Then I suggested that it sounded like the ringtone of someone who drives a Buick. Fighting words.

Several gathered round the next time a call came in...

"We need to take out the owner..."
"I have a cousin, Guido..."
"Here's a quarter to start the fund... "
"Ok, well, maybe we can't afford Guido.... I have another cousin, Timmy..."
