That goddamn inflatable rat the union picketers are always using is in front of my building today. I hate that fucking thing. So of course, I had to go out on my lunch break and harass them about it...
Me: "Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost to rent the rat?"
Union guy: "Actually, it's ours."
Me: "Seriously? You OWN the rat? How much did you pay for that thing?"
Union guy, yelling over his shoulder: "Hey, Joey — how much for da rat?"
Joey: "About 8 grand."
Me: "Eight GRAND? Are you kidding me?"
Union guy: "Nope, 8 grand. And lemme tell you, it's paid for itself several times over."
I have no idea how a fucking inflatable rat generates income, but I'd still like to harpoon the damn thing. Too bad there's never any hunting spears around when you need 'em...

You should not engage in stand up comedy in front of your building. You'll get a slacker reputation. I hope you brought your brochures, at least.
ReplyDeleteI just thought of a great idea for a reality show. Becca moves to Vermont. I sitting here laughing imagining you standing on your porch harrassing a rabid raccoon...I'd watch that.
I maybe been drinking...
ReplyDeleteI can think of other fucking inflatable things that (de)generate...
ReplyDelete@TCHC: I already have a slacker reputation for being on my blog when I should be working...
ReplyDelete@Dalia: ZING! :D
Also, the rat looks like it has the bubonic plague.
ReplyDeleteIs that how you get that reputation? Guess I better call for my membership card, then.
