Monday evening we were watching Wheel of Fortune because I’m a game show junkie it was on after the local news. There was one contestant who had not won a round, and Matt and I were discussing the fact that now you get $1,000 at the end of the game whether you solve a puzzle or not. The following conversation ensued:
Matt: “It was more fun when they gave party gifts like Metamucil and Pop Tarts.”
Me (laughing): “Did you say party gifts? They are part-ing gifts.”
Matt: “No, he used to say party gifts.”
Me (still laughing): “No he didn’t. They have always been parting gifts.”
Matt: “Well, I always wondered who had a party with Metamucil and Pop Tarts.”
Last night’s episode of The Office was great! The writers were in rare form when they wrote this script. I laughed all the way through the episode, from Andy coming in and saying he goes by Drew now to the “shunning” by Dwight to the bets (Kelly’s explanation of Netflix was great) to Michael on the roof. There were several good quotes, but the one I remember right now is:
“I worked in a warehouse once. Men’s Warehouse. I was a greeter.” ~~ Michael Scott
Last night on NBC’s The Office (my favorite show by the way):
“It was a crime of passion, Jan, not a disgruntled employee. Everyone here is extremely gruntled.” ~~ Michael Scott (played by Steve Carrell)
I laughed everytime I saw the promo this week.
