“You Have Any Idea How To Work This Thing?”

By John Carney

“No, you?”
“No, I just said I didn’t.”
“No, you asked me if I knew how to work it, you didn’t say anything about you.”
“Fine, I don’t know how to work it either.”
“Well, what should we do?”
“I don’t know, I’m really at a loss here.”
“We could go bowling.”
“No, no, we have to figure this thing out.”
“Fine, but I still don’t know what to do.”
“We could get the guy from ten years ago?”
“Maybe he still has the assembly directions?”
“Yeah, that’s what I’m hoping.”

    Bess,
    You are like a $1,000/hr. prostitute for my brain. I’m still hoping to one day be able to try some of those unsafe things…

    Economists NOW say a recession is here. Earth to economists – you’re about SIX MONTHS BEHIND…AS USUAL. Don’t quit your day jobs – with the government or some large multinational financial firm (any real difference?). Also, since most of you are so slow, the Giants won the Super Bowl. You’re all welcome. Now back to work preparing some meaningless theoretical paper than no one will read.
