COMEDY (OR TRAGEDY): My singer and I just engaged in this conversation, footnoted for easy reference:
"ItsmeMark2: I have a new song that we should sing
ItsmeMark2: or try to play
NotByronDorgan: oh?
NotByronDorgan: what is it?*#@^
ItsmeMark2 wants to send file 1108 thugz - Bitch You Best Toss My Salad!.mp3.
NotByronDorgan declined request; the file will not be sent.
NotByronDorgan: uh, I'm at work**
ItsmeMark2: oh ok
NotByronDorgan: I can't take files here
ItsmeMark2: I didn't know
ItsmeMark2: It's a funny song
NotByronDorgan: especially not that one, I think
NotByronDorgan: I would get in hella trouble***"
*Nick tries to find a space on the library's hard drive for the song, thinking it's something serious.
#Nick looks at the title of the song
@Nick realizes that if he played the song so anyone heard or left the song on the computer, he would probably be fired (and with good reason)
^Nick declines the transfer of the file
** a.k.a. 'the excuse'
*** a.k.a. 'the dramatic understatement'
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
