QUOTE OF THE DAY

This is a typical type of conversation from work at the bookstore (if you can call it typical):

I tuned in when I heard my coworker say in a very serious, loud robotic voice:"You think that the laptop desk is giving you cancer?"
The old man responded in a raspy, slow voice:"Yeah," as he held up a pink cushy thing with a wooden top to put on your lap to do paperwork, etc.
My coworker repeated again even louder robotic voice:"You think that the laptop desk is giving you cancer?!"
"Yeah, yeah."
"You think that the laptop desk is giving you cancer?!"
"Yeah, yeah, working with those computers...you know."
"Oh, so, you don't mean the DESK. You mean the computer.... I don't think so."
"No?"
"NO."
"Oh, okay," and with that the old man hobbled away while carrying the laptop desk. I wondered whether he'd still buy it.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

I've decided to add a new part to this blog. "Quote of the day." My mentality is back on the whole - "must publish a novel" thing, so I think "quote of the day" will help get the juices flowing. Perhaps it will get everyone's creativity flowing. If any readers out there have a quote, feel free to post it.

After a long day (and night) of work at the bookstore (I realized today that I've been there for 10 years! Eeek!) I RAN to catch the subway, leaped down several stairs, and hurled myself through the doors. I barely made it. Some other guy and girl did too. This is what one said to the other:

"It's my favorite part of the day."
"Catching the train?"
"Yeah."
"How bad is your day?"
