The Snippets Fell Down a Well

Josh: You ever think you'll live in a neighborhood that doesn't get littered with fliers advertising local drink specials?
Me: God I hope not.
Random Woman: You really shouldn't be smoking.
Me: I know that.
Random Woman: And yet you still do it.
Me: Do you walk around pointing out the obvious to everybody or am I just the lucky asshole, today?
Random Woman: Well?
Me: Dude, the beer's free. I mean, I'm all for tipping these guys but you just gave them twenty bucks.
Fish: They're providing an invaluable service, Nathan. Free beer is priceless.
Me: You're a character, Fish. Always have been.
Fish: Thanks.
Me: So, you know Doug's running a triathlon, tomorrow?
Main: How many times do we have to have this conversation?
Me: What conversation?
Main: You don't run a triathlon. You compete in a triathlon. Triathlons consist of running, swimming and cycling.
Me: Well, look who rode in on his high horse.
Main: It's not that difficult a concept, Nate. I mean shit, you went to college.
Me: Yeah, at South Florida.
Main: Well?
Ray: You hear about that pitcher who died?
Me: Yup.
Ray: Was he any good?
Me: He was a good middle reliever.
Ray: I heard he was drunk when he died.
Me: Could have been.
Ray: I think you'll be drunk when you die.
Me: Dude, I just met you. How can you say that?
Ray: Some people, you can just tell.
Me: I Tivoed the NFL draft.
Reggie: Why?
Me: I like to watch it while I clean and do laundry. Usually, by the time I've actually watched the entire draft, the regular season is here.
Reggie: Man, why don't you watch something more interesting? Like rainfall. Or paint drying.
Me: Well?
Street Preacher: Have you taken Jesus Christ as your lord and savior?
Rick: Yes I have. I've also made him my CEO and put him in charge of ethereal acquisitions.
Me: Good move. He's the right man for the job.
Rick: Yeah, you know how it is. You pay for what you get.
Street Preacher: I don't think you understand what you're saying.
Me: Well you're wrong. You just don't understand what we're saying.
Street Preacher: Jesus is not a CEO. He is Lord.
Rick: Yeah, and that really helps move the meetings along.
Me: Saves you money on office supplies too, I'll bet.
Rick: Oh, hell yeah.
Street Preacher: I'm going to pray for your eternal souls.
Rick: Great. One less job for my CEO to do today.
Me: Today is straight up making you money.
Rochelle: You smoke too much.
Me: I really only smoke when I drink.
Rochelle: You drink too much.
Me: Well?

Reading your blog leads me to two conclusions:
1: I am definitely buying your snippet book.
2: I'd do you.
Let me know if you're ever in the North-East!
Do you often get women soliciting you for sex over the internet? If so, I'm impressed. (kinda)
I need to start using the God is the CEo bit. That's priceless.
I know this has nothing to do with your recent hilarious snippets, but what ever happened to Stoner Chick?? I miss the stories of her.
Janoy, I miss her, too. If she is still in Tampa Bay, she no longer works at her place of employment. Her cousin, whom she used to work with, told me that she quit. She could still be living at her parents' house, but I do not want to call there. Her cell phone has mysteriously been disconnected and I have come to the conclusion that, like many women, she would be happy to never see me again. Sorry. Life is messy.
Heather, not often enough.
Thanks, Eve.
