DSL

The people I work with never cease to amaze me. We have a lot of characters here in the office, most of whom are completely unaware of how much mirth they bring me. One such case of this, happened a long time ago. I don't know exactly how long, just that it was a while back. It happened when I worked 3rd shift where we are a little looser with our tongues. There was maybe 5-6 people total, all of which knew each other pretty well because we had all been on the same shift for so long. I was single and talking about the things I look for in a girl (mind you that was then and this is now and my standards are changed) but I said "A girl's gotta have DSL. That's where it's at." I got a confused look from a girl, who I will call Dreamcrusher, and she asks me "You like a girl for her Internet connection?"... FAIL!!! I haven't let her live that down, and probably never will. On a side note, when she told her mom the story, her mom said the exact same thing. So maybe it runs in the family? I dunno. I've maintained that Dreamcrusher has a 5 second delay, meaning that she hears a joke, and it takes her a few seconds to get it. I don't want to make her look like a moron, because sometimes this girl can be pretty sharp (she's pretty smart about family junk and saving money and what not). We have others though too. There's my baby mama (not for real, I just maintain the status of the father of her children) who I always hit on every chance I get. We have the Pool Hound, who constantly hounds my coach to come play pool with him. It's funny because I doubt she'd ever go up there to watch the pool tourneys, but she gripes at him a lot about it. We have the Lameness who is actually pretty cool, we just give her a hard time. She makes rocking a mohawk look pretty OK. There's also Dr Professor Brian Cole Esquire who I carpool with. He isn't a doctor, he isn't a professor, and his name isn't Brian Cole Esquire. He is a pretty funny guy though. since there's so few of us guys here, he makes sure to take our side on almost every conflict that comes up. There's my work Geisha, but really since she became a coach, we can't wantonly flirt anymore, not that we ever did anything or would. There's more, but speaking of work, I am here and should probably do something about it. Ugh work.
