Yes! That is *exactly* what would have happened! I know this because once at my shop I answered the phone, and apparently hearing just *my* side of the conversation was quite bizarre, because at one point I glanced up and realized that everyone in the entire shop had stopped reading comics or having conversations or anything else they were doing, and were instead all staring at me waiting to hear whatever I said next.

ReplyDeleteThis is probably the truest "It's true" post ever.
ReplyDeleteThis guy for president.
ReplyDeleteHoly shitballs! That dude just went with the nuclear option.
ReplyDelete"Burn", indeed! Another wonderful tag, and SO apt in this instance. Good one, Mr. Tim! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnd the whole store goes silent and everyone pretends they didn't hear a thing all while trying to listen in on the rest.
ReplyDeleteYes! That is *exactly* what would have happened!
