Sales rep: What's the last thing you got from the client?

Flibby: A copy of some software that was ridiculously out of spec.

Sales rep: You say "ridiculously out of spec" like it's a bad thing.

Flibby: What I MEANT to say is that the software they provided was charmingly unique and completely lacking in pretension as it flouted convention for the sheer joy of existence like a space shuttle made of rose petals, butterfly wings and bits of gossamer collected in the morning dew.

Vapid Coworker: I like Italian Rennaissance artists a lot, but I really like Dali. And I like them for different reasons. Dali is just able to imagine such warped and twisted things!

Flibby: That's exactly why I don't like him.

Vapid Coworker: heh heh heh. I won't hold it against you.

Flibby: Walking away Ha! I will hold it against you.

Suffice it to say that I tend to judge people by the art they enjoy. The person who loves Dali is a bad person.
