A Work IM Conversation With the Wife

me: great... my coworker is writing his IMs and emails in comic sans
her: I have a client that does that.
they're also in, like, 16 point font.
really? does it need to be that big?
me: hard for me to say "those people shouldn't exist" because I like the guy.
maybe I should change it to "those people need to be taught a lesson"
her: I gave my client such a hard time about it that the last time I IM'd him - it was gone.
me: nice.
her: You're doing something amazing here. You're ridding the world of Comic Sans one person at a time.
her: I don't know if he did it because of me or if it was a coincidence, but I don't annoy him anymore and I think he likes that.
me: You should get a trophy.
her: oO - a trophy would be lovely.
me: I'll bake you one.
it will be of Bill Gates' bust
her: sweet!
me: not his head either, I mean just his bust-proper... Gates' man-boobs
her: yumm
me: i probably shouldn't write that at work, "man-boobs".
it's gonna get flagged
her: probably.
they'll think you're a sexual harasser
me: I think you just coined that term as a noun.
