newbies and badges
we wear security badges like pretty much any large corporation nowadays. so today, i notice that newguy has very slyly replaced the first name on his badge [which begins with the letter "a"] with "A - 1". naturally i ask him whether he considers himself to be the best, or if he carries the namesake of a hearty steak sauce. asimov [whose box neighbors mine] also speaks up, "why do you call yourself a condiment?" he replies, "... [wait for it] ... because i'm creamy and delicious". and he exits the area probably rather proud of himself. wow. that's spectacular. i wonder, how many times did he throw that line before he perfected it? he probably started with, "because i'm zesty" or "because i'm the original". i doubt, though, that he used lines like, "because i only have 30 calories per bottle" or "because i've used the same recipe for 137 years." yeah, those probably wouldn't work very well.
