:: Two frustrating conversations ::

Episode No. 1 – Me vs. Christene
Christene: Who's that old guy who's really tanned?
Me: What? What guy?
Christene: You know, the really tanned guy? Is it George Hamilton?
Me: What are you talking about? The really tanned guy from where - TV? A movie? Your work? A guy from the mall? You're gonna have to be more specific.
Christene: Oh. Well he's that tanned guy – from TV.
Me: What show is he on?
Christene: He's not on a show. He's just on TV.
Me (frustration brewing): What, so he's just on every channel? What the hell are you talking about?

(Editor's note: After all that nonsense, turns out that Christene was friggin' right: It was George Hamilton. Bonus points if you actually recognize him from something, because his imdb.com profile isn't exactly what I'd call impressive.)

Episode No. 2 – Bobby calls the office
Me: Hello?
Bobby: French?
Me: Uh, hello?
Bobby: French?
Me: Hey Bob, what's up?
Bobby: Po-ta-to boats!
Me: You're an idiot.
Bobby: Scuba Diving!
Me: OK....
Bobby: Want to call me back when you're off work?
Me: Yeah, I think that'd be good.
