Back when I worked for a company with a self-proclaimed "witty and irreverent" culture, when I placed help-wanted ads, or recruiting notices at colleges, for part-time people who had to be smart, dynamic, and at least somewhat funny, I would use contact names as Ivana Cash, Juanita F. Goodman, etc.

We would actually use it as a screening tool. You could tell if someone was a good fit if they had a sense that the named recruiting contact might not actually exist. People who actually got offended by the fake name never made it past an interview.
Ah, I miss being so juvenile at work.

Also, that's the great thing about flying Jet Blue:

The headphones go on the second I sit down and never come off.

He was in an astrophysics Phd program. She'd rather he not talk because he rambled incessantly about string theory.

I believe it has something to do with space-age dogs.

I didn't. And just my luck, my boys were hanging out with this dude named Shane, a light-skinned black dude who looked roughly 300 times better than me. And back then, there was only room for one black dude in that type of crowd.* That guy got laid. A lot.

*My best friend didn't get it at first. He was like, "Yo! This place has like 500 hot girls, man!" I told him it wasn't like New York. When I took him to the one black club** in Tempe and every single girl ignored him and the black guys would look at him sideways for talking to one, he finally got it.

**By the time I get to Arizona, indeed.

I haven't. Hard to believe that a hot, thin girl who wants to please you in every possible way would be worse than a fat girl. So, you're still going to have to do a better job explaining why they're so much better.

Because her sweatshirt will actually fit you - and you need a sweatshirt for those cold, pre-dawn, walks of shame?

Those were never walks of shame. I'd proudly stumble forth... "Yeh, that's right. I had shitty bourbon sex last nite, what's it to you, fucko?"

Your argument is as circular as your girlfriends. Isn't it only a walk of shame if the sweatshirt actually fits?

I keep a small stripper's diamond at the base. Because full waxing's creepy.

Because you'll buy that cow, and find yourself paying for diapers and a staggering mortgage down the road.
