The Fat Mentality vs. The Thin Mentality, Summed Up In One Conversation 1

I was having a conversation with two female co-workers, both of whom are in pretty good shape, when an actress walked by in a dress that was extremely flattering. Co-worker #1: Wow, she looks great. (pause) I need to work out more. Co-worker #2: Yeah, me too. Me: (pause) I want a Twinkie. Suddenly, my ...

Signs It Might Be Time To Do Laundry 3

Not only did I wear my ugliest work shirt (it’s lime green, people. LIME GREEN) today, but I was completely out of white socks, so I had to wear black ones. Anybody got any idea how ridiculous black socks look with a lime green shirt and blue jeans? Damn, I need to get some quarters.
