An Overheard Conversation That Made Me Die A Little

Scene: Office cafetorium. TWELVE, a mild-mannered trademark lawyer, stands before a microwave, heating her Lean Cuisine. Around a partial wall housing a sink sit FIVE ADMINS. TWO ADMINS sit at one table; THREE ADMINS sit at an adjoining table. They are talking, generally, about movies.

ADMIN ONE: Did any of you see that movie Couples Retreat?

ADMIN TWO: No, I meant to but didn't get around to it.

ADMIN THREE: You have to get it on dvd. It's so funny!

ADMIN TWO: Yeah? The trailer looked hilarious.

ADMIN FOUR: I love that Vince Vaughn. I'd go see him in anything.

ADMIN ONE: Me too. Did you know he was in Zoolander?

ADMIN THREE: I didn't know that!

ADMIN TWO: Me neither. I guess I should rent that too.

ADMIN ONE: You should. It's not as good as Couples Retreat, but it's still pretty funny.

ADMIN FIVE: You know who I like, is that Will Ferrell.

General agreement amongst the ADMINS. TWELVE collects her Lean Cuisine and escapes to her office.

Culinary Note: Failing to refrigerate Lemon-lime Sugar-free Jell-O does not affect its semi-solid state (alarming), but does no favors for its taste.
