The Scene: Garret and I are on our way into work. He's wearing some new duds and talking about his shopping experience.
Garret: So even though they had a huge display of dress shirts they were all pointed collars.Me: Maybe there's a reason that you can't find button down collars anywhere. Maybe they're a fashion no-no.
Garret: If you're not wearing a tie then a pointed collar isn't doing you much good.
Me: Or maybe they're just so popular they can't keep them in stock.
Garret: Yeah, right. I'm sure that's the reason.
Me: Or maybe it's because you're only going to factory outlets and they don't need to unload button-downs at those places.
Garret: You could stop now.
Me: But it's probably just because they're a fashion no-no.
The Scene: With Garret, on the way to work. A few minutes later.
Garret: So that was two more white shirts for only $40.Me: All of your shirts are white?
Garret: Yeah, that's the best color for business shirts.
Me: White - it's the new black. Goes with everything.
Garret: That is such a retarded saying.
Me: What? 'Goes with everything'?
Garret: No, 'the new black'. Nobody in business wears black shirts.
Me: But it does go with everything.
Garret: So what? You might wear a black shirt when you go out but when have you ever seen somebody go to work in one?
Me: Never, I guess. Except for in the movies.
Garret: Exactly.
Me: And even then they only wear black shirts at the evil corporations.
Garret: We're not an evil corporation.
Me: Well, we don't think so anyway.
Garret: Even if we are an evil corporation, only the evil leaders of the corporation wear black shirts. All of the minions are still wearing white shirts.
Me: We're minions?
Garret: Yup.
Me: I always wanted to be a minion. All the evil, none of the guilt.
