New Feature - Stuff out of context

Sometimes the stuff we say is inherently funny. It's even funnier when you hear it out of context. So, we've been writing down the funny things we say on a daily basis. We've drawn pictures to go along with them, interpreted without the original context.

Here's the first one for you today. 

The line: Did you know your bathtub is wrinkly?

Do you think an iron would help?

 

Today, we draw portraits

This little sketch is how we view our boss, the Hutt. We are told the facial expression is spot on for the Hutt's everyday look. We tried to draw the death stare but even as a doodle it was too powerful.

"Nothing you do is right, Spoof and Speck"

Are there any other characters you'd like us to draw? Let us know in the comments.

What's with the Hutt and money?

Several weeks ago, we sent the Hutt an email, asking for money to purchase supplies for an event. When we finally got a response, a full half a day later, it was nasty.

"It doesn't work that way anymore," growled the Hutt. "You can't just have money without proof. Don't you know I have to shop for you?"

Seeing as you've never told us...

Now, shoes and the Hutt have been been hinting all summer that something is going to be different about our purchasing procedures. They've never said exactly what. Apparently they've picked secrecy as their management style. So no, we didn't know that we couldn't buy our own supplies anymore.

Trying to be good employees, though, we apologized for not knowing something we've never been told. Then we made a detailed shopping list (we're talking exact product name, color, quantity, and expected price) and emailed it to the Hutt. Then we waited.

Nothing. No supplies. No mention of the list. 

Finally, three days before our event we were frantic. We resolved to speak to the Hutt that very morning. At our weekly staff meeting the Hutt finally noticed mention of our event on the list of topics. "Oh, I have to go shopping tonight," it said. "Hee hee."

We are not amused.

The story does not end there. The next day, the Hutt brings us several bags. The price on a few items had changed. The Hutt bought too many of one item and the wrong variety of another. And there was no poster board, something we specifically needed. "Oh, that's still in my car," said the Hutt. "It was too heavy to bring in this morning." 

Poster board. Too heavy.  

This stuff must weigh a thousand pounds.

I have a name. Honest.

Ever get bored at work?

Not us. Nope. Never.

Some people get on Facebook. Some play games. Some people even look at porn. Spoof and Speck prefer to mess with people. We like to call this "social experiments."

We've done a number of experiments in the last few years, with varying degrees of success. Our all time favorite, though, involves Speck and a patron we'll call Ken. Ken is one of those people who wants to know everything about you. He's constantly trying to engage people in long conversations. He tried to do acupressure on an employee once. 

It got to the point that Ken knew the name of pretty much every employee at Tartarus. Everyone but Speck.

We made it into a game. To start out, Spoof called Speck over to "help" Ken with something. "I bet Speck can help you. Hey Speck. What do you think, Speck?" Spoof probably used the name Speck five times in that short conversation. And every time we saw Ken after that.

It took almost three weeks. Three weeks during which Ken said "hey" to or ignored Speck, even resorting to using nicknames on two occasions. 

This is one of our evidences that Speck has the power of invisibility. 

Maybe you should have a water instead

You're wandering around town, starting to feel a little thirsty. Suddenly, you spot a drink machine. You feel around in your pockets. You're in luck! You have just enough change for an ice cold Pepsi. Perfection, right? 

Not so fast, bucko. Take a closer look at the dispensing chute on that machine.

That's not a Mountain Dew.

So, let that be a lesson to you. Always look before you reach. The unwary could loose a finger to that clever, vicious squirrel.

Just a reminder

In case you've forgotten or are new to our blog, we wanted to remind you that you have just one more week to share your meaning for the acronym PSA. Not sure what we're talking about? Check out this post. We'll share our favorite response here on the blog on the 30th.
