Mike’s New Comics Day Lunchtime Update 3001.
Employee Jeff: “Hey, why do you always make yourself out to be so great on your site?”
Me: “What do you mean?”
Employee Jeff: “You always rewrite our conversations to make yourself look good and make Aaron and me look stupid.”
Me: “No, I don’t! I paraphrase and/or edit for clarity, so that the point or the joke gets across more clearly, but I don’t purposefully do it to make you guys look bad.”
Employee Jeff: “Yeah you do!”
Me: “Nuh-uh! I do not!” “Why, young Jeff, you, Aaron and I are all part of the great comics retailing world, and by including you in my retailing tales, you participate in the education and entertainment of thousands of readers! You are no clown, no fool, no object of japes and insults, but rather a starring player in my attempts to provide vital information to the masses.”
Employee Jeff: “What a load of crap.” “Why, oh great and wise Mike, suddenly I see the light! Your beacon of wisdom has brought me forth from the fog of ignorance! How ever could I have doubted you?”
Employee Aaron: “DUH, what? I don’t get it.”
