An e-mail I wrote to my wife from work. A bit of background; I work in a really small town at a really small company and 97% of these people have been drinking toxic farm chemicals for their entire lives. I do not deal with logic and common
sense at this place. Deb is a lady across the hall from me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deb is selling bricks painted up as bunnies with a cotton ball glued to it for 10 bucks. Her friend makes them.
Ill say that again. Maybe a bit slower to give it some sink time.
Deb
is

for 10 bucks. Bricks painted up as bunny rabbits. For 10 bucks. A cotton ball is glued to it so you cannot tell it is a brick. Well, other than it is obviously a f'cking brick with a cotton ball glued to it.
Ok, ok, weird right? I mean who the f'ck would
buy a brick slapped with some white paint, a couple of eyes, and a cotton ball and really enjoy their purchase. For 10 bucks no less. What the f'ck would you do with a brick painted up as a bunny rabbit? Is this a conversation center piece for your next dinner party?
Thank you for inviting us over for dinner.
Oh, thank you for coming over. Ive been so lonely ever since they had to shoot my chimpanzee for killing my other friends.
<they sit at the dining room table>
Oh, is
.is
.that a
a
is that a brick painted up as a bunny rabbit? I mean, its a rabbit right? Or not?
Oh why yes it is. Isnt it adorable? I just love heavy rectangular things and when I saw one painted as a bunny rabbit I just couldnt pass it up.
Oh and they even glued a cotton ball to it. Well that certainly seals the deal that its a rabbit, huh?
Yes.
No arms, no legs?
Nope.
Oh they fell off huh?
No.
The ears fell off? Right? The ears I mean
.rabbits have long ears.
No. Thats the way Robert was when I bought him.
Im sorry, did you just call your brick Robert?
Ok, ok, some people are paying 10 bucks to have a brick painted as a bunny rabbit. But how the f'ck does someone decide to show their friends they are painting bricks as bunny rabbits and THEN figure they can sell em for 10 bucks??
Im going to stop there (sort of) and let you think about that for a second.
You are looking at a brick and decide it is a perfect shape for a bunny rabbit.
You paint the brick white and add some eyes.
You then decide if only it had a tail it would be perfect. No, no ears, no legs, no arms. Just missing the tail to complete the cover up.
Ok.
Now you are sitting a table, presumably, or maybe naked curled up in a ball in a dark corner somewhere, either way
you are looking at your masterpiece and something tells you to show this to someone else. And by something tells you I mean you have given in to the talking caterpillars walking on your ceiling.
Ok.
Go show your friends your rabbit brick.
Then ask them to give you 10 bucks for one.
No, no, not those friends
.the real ones.
Let me know what they say k?
