Tonight: Money

"You might be surprised to learn that I’ve only been to one other wedding. It’s actually a very cute story. My mom was marrying Jeff and they asked me to be ring bearer and I was understandably emotional and somehow my pants became wet. Long story short, Jeff’s dog ended up as ring bearer and the irony is that after the ceremony, that dog peed on everything, and nobody said boo." Michael Scott; Dunder Mifflin


Office tonight! Did you see last week's episode?


Of course. It was quite possibly the funniest episode of The Office ever. Ryan held a launch party for the new company website in New York, and Michael thought he was invited. He and Jim got most of the way to the City before Jim realized what was actually going on. Dwight decided to compete with the company website to see who could sell the most paper, but to his surprise, the website became aware and taunted him over Instant Messenger. Strictly speaking, Pam was doing the talking, but it was all the same to Dwight. Meanwhile, Andy has decided to pursue Angela, much to Dwight's dismay, and Kelly is so amused by the animated shopping cart on the website that she's started buying reams of paper. It made sense at the time.


Wasn't there something about a book?


Yes, quite. Michael had bought a copy of "Green Eggs and Ham" for Ryan as a gift for the launch party. He said he wanted to get "Oh The Places You'll Go" but they were sold out. This is especially funny to me since one of my loyal readers had an experience with this. He took a very extensive (several months long) training course on something here at work. When they "graduated," each student got a giftwrapped present. It was a copy of "Oh the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss...and the management here actually thought that was clever and/or a good idea. It seems every time I bring up this story, the response involves an abundant amount of cursing. Not sure what's up with that...
