Good Morning ... (Afternoon) ... So What's Going On???

Good morning,

Where was I?

So why am I doing this. Well the conversation went a little like this ...

(All names may or may not have been changed to preserve the identity, honour, embarrassment, pride and shame of the individuals involved.)
*Music playing in the background*
*Myself and somebody called "Sock" sat at adjacent computers working*
Sock: "Can we have a real song on please?"
Me: "What's wrong with the song we have on?"
Sock: "This song sucks."
Me: "This some is awesome!"
Sock: "Listen to it. Put something cool on."

*Music stops*
Me: "Fine."
*Music starts up again*
Sock: "This is the same song!"
Me: "But it's cool! Don't worry, if you hear it enough, you'll come to love it."
Sock: "Hmm."
Me: "Do you know what we should do? We should make a cool music video to go with this song!"
Sock: "Why would we do such a thing?"
Me: "Because it would be fun. And awesome!!"
Sock: "Well you can."
Me: "Well what if we go to Japan and make the video?"
*Sock ponders for a moment*
Sock: "Are you paying?"
Me: "Sure..."
Sock: "Okay. If somebody else is paying, I'll fly to Japan and make a music video."
Me: "Seriously? You can't take it back. It'll be set in stone. If somebody else pays for you to go to Japan, you agree to dance around like a fool all over the country and then put the video on the internet for everyone to see?"
Sock: "I'll say yes if it means you'll change the song."
*Song changes*
Me: "Done!"

Now, I know he never thought it would happen, but at this point I stopped working and started devising ways of funding this epic expedition. This is what I came up with...

So there you have it...

On a side note, today's "mentalist quote of the day" comes from a character I'm going to call "Kodbert" ... He can always be relied upon to say something deep and insightful.

Kodbert: "Well you can't sell things to drivers before there were cars around."

Thanks, Kodbert. Stay tuned for more pearls of wisdom.
