I live and work with Michael Scott


For example,

We walk by a gift shop titled "The Amster Dammer" - I say "What a stupid name for a gift shop."  He says "Huh, the Meister Dammer??"  I guess the non-traditional "A" really threw him off, because instead of normal letters it was made up of two of Amsterdam xxx posts leaning into each other.  And yeah they are a bit penile-ese.

Not too much later, I ask if he thinks Steve Correll is funny.  He says "Well yes and no...."  Then a few seconds later "...I think he's stupid."  I'm confused which part of that answer leaned toward 'yes'.  

More posts to come for sure on this subject... not a day goes by without fresh examples.

SEE!  As I was writing this, another great one came up.  Michael Scott is now convinced that this guy he found on facebook is black, because all of the guy's friends on facebook are black.  To be honest the guy looks like he might be Latin American.  But, since he might be a lighter black person, Michael thinks he may in fact be "Milano".  (I think that's the wrong term... not that it's really a 'right' term anyway).

My next project is to figure out who the rest of my office colleagues are on the office.  I want to call my boss Phyllis, but that's more for fun than accuracy.
