Scene: CW passes by JD's cube and notices a strange sign hanging up. It says "FRIENDS WITH"
CW: Who are you friends with?
JD: Huh?
CW: Are you friends with books?
JD: Ohhhh...noooo...that's the other half of the sign down there (points to the Benefits Corner).
CW: What? Are you talking about the Benefits Corner? Is your friend down there?
JD: Noooo...
By now, a small crowd has gathered including JH, PC, & MW. They are already looking at CW in disbelief.
CW: Ok, wait. Benefits corner...friends...with...?
JD: Other way!
CW: Friends with...benefits...corner? Friends with benefits corner.
Everyone is looking at CW wondering if she has any clue what that means...
CW: You guys...!
CW is shaking her head and walks away.

Too Funny...
Ever since I learned that most commercial products put a small 800-number on their packages for consumer questions, I've felt compelled to call the customer service reps to harass them. Each time I do this, readers write in, contending that I am one sick guy.
EMETROL FOR NAUSEA
Me: I feel as though the world is an implacable, oppressive universe, indifferent to me as a human being. Can your product help?
Bridget: What sort of symptoms have you been having?Me: Nausea, which Jean-Paul Sartre defined as the sickening awareness that we live only with an illusion of free will in an existence that is utterly pointless. Will Emetrol work for me?
Bridget: Let me pull the product information up.
Me:
Bridget: It only relieves nausea due to upset stomachs.
Me: Well, I do feel it in my gut. It's a revulsion caused by the conflict between spiritually destructive conformity and the human need to be authentic. Do you recommend the 4-ounce size, or bigger?
Bridget: Well, the dosage is one to two tablespoons every 15 minutes until the distress subsides.
Me: Whoa, I might need gallons!

LL: You walk like Lake Show...
