Daily Work

We're sitting in the conference room and my friend is talking about how he misses his summers at his summer house up north now that he can't work because he's working full time at a company that he owns.  So he says:

You have to admit it.  As some point it is unreasonable to have to show up to work every day.  I mean, it's the summer.  

Dress shirts

Talking about clothes, my friend says:

The tailor that came over was great.  She looked at my shirts and she got rid of 70 of my dress shirts.  She said pointy collars are out.  I mean, didn't throw them out, but gave them away.

I say "As in seven zero?"


Yes.  Well, cause I haven't thrown out any of them for many years.

My Enjoyment

I was having breakfast with my rich friend at a hotel restaurant where we were for a business meeting.  We get our food, and when the waitress comes to check on us, my rich friend says to the waitress:

I would really enjoy some bacon, crispy, but not deep fried, with my oatmeal.

I ask, "So, is that how it is in your world?  You don't ask for anything; you just mention what you would enjoy and people bring it for you?"  He says "well, yeah".

The Pants

I saw my friend today and I said "hey, I don't think those pants look very nice."  He says:

I know.  I was very disappointed.  But, the tailor is coming here (he lives in Texas, tailor is in NYC) to fix them.

I start laughing.  He says "What?"  I say "oh nothing...of course the tailor would fly down to fix the problem"  He says:

Well, I got them done in NYC to save money.  So what do you want me to do?
