Sweet Dreams are Made of This

I had a dream that I met Tina Fey. I was so nervous, the only thing I could think to say was, "Uh... Do you want to go to a Coldplay concert some time?" Even in my dreams, I am the least smooth motherfucker on the planet. In case you're wondering, she told me she didn't like me like that.

Moving On Up

The Worst Accidental Pun

While I was talking our receptionist (who happens to be black), we see the UPS guy come into the office (he also happens to be black). When he gets to where we are standing, she turns to me and says, "Don't you just love UPS?" For the first time ever, I made an unintended double entendre - and at the worst possible moment. Without thinking I replied, "Oh yeah. I am totally down with The Brown."
