why, yes, a rooster, it is a rooster.


annoying bible thumping coworker: hey, i like your hat. is that a rooster?
'why, yes, a rooster, it is a rooster.'
'it's cute. [my fat, three year-old beast] will love it!'
'yeah? got it last winter. it's the year of the, um, rooster.'
[cool russian coworker turns around. throws me the 'i know what you're talking about' look. cool chinese coworker starts giggling. we both hate the bible thumper.]
'i should get that for him. he'd love it. where did you get it?'
'uh, geez, where did i get it. aah, yes, a thrift shop in, uh, williamsburg. who knows how old it is.'
'oh, well, it's very cute. he'd love it.'
'sorry. luck of the draw, i suppose.'
right. luck of the draw.
