Spare Pillow In Briefcase


“Are you saying you lost the contract?”

“I'm saying I never had the contract in the first place.”

“Look, we went over this at the meeting. Great meeting, by the way.”

“Excellent meeting. According to my notes, the deadline was...”

“Wait. Get in.”

“Okay.”

“Let me scooch over. Here's a pillow. And we can pull up the covers... there. Okay, now we can talk.”

“Great. So it was my understanding... where did you get these sheets?”

“Pretty nice, right? Italian.”

“Sweet. Anyway, about the contract...”

“Forget about the contract.”

“What?”

“It doesn't matter. Everything will turn out okay. There are a lot more important things in life than this dumb business. We need to take the time to appreciate what's beyond the constant, demeaning hustle and grind of capitalism. Know what I mean?”

“I guess so. Did you just fart?”
