Say Hallo, Cookie

Next week I am finishing up a three-month contract with a client. Gotta say I'm not terribly disappointed about it, either. After this lengthy stint, I'm worried that I may be too far gone to ever be able to return to the corporate world full time. Over the past several years, I've grown to be excessivly anti-establishment. I have zero patience for bureaucracy, not to mention that my growing civil obedience "take[s] Thoreau to a whole new level" according to my friend over Google Chat. Heh. I did, however, get solace from a bumper sticker the other day that said, "Well behaved women seldom make history." Heh heh.

Anyway, I don't necessarily think this is misbehaving, but it's damn funny. Yesterday morning, as I stood in the kitchen at work twirling a banana in my hand and waiting for my bagel to toast, I grew bored. So, for my own amusement, I lifted the banana to my ear and intoned "ring, ring."

"Hallo?" I spoke into the banana, "Yes, just a minute please..." Then I turned to the woman next to me, tapped her on the shoulder, and gestured to pass the banana to her: "Here, it's for you."

You know, she actually started to take it. Heh heh heh.
