“Conversations with Inanimate Objects and Abstract Concepts”


– Josh: “All right, weekend.  Let’s do this!”
Weekend: “Don’t waste me feeling sorry for yourself and watching clips of cats on YouTube.”
{48 hours go by.}
Josh: “Sorry, weekend.”
Weekend: “Go fuck yourself.”

– Josh: “What’s wrong, blender?  Why aren’t you working?”
Blender: {sigh} “I can’t do this anymore, Josh.  Just pull the plug.”

– Josh: “I love you, yogurt-covered almonds.”
Yogurt-covered almonds: “So it’s easy for you to say it to me but not to other human beings?  Come on, bro.  Grow some balls.”

– Josh: “Damn it, computer.  Stop freezing!”
Computer: “Oh, I’m sorry. Am I taking ten measly seconds to load a website that will allow you to access the entire goddamn database of human knowledge? Yeah, no, say, ‘Damn it’ again, you spoiled piece of shit.”
Josh: “Sorry.”
Computer: “Damn right you’re sorry.  I can destroy your files, homie — and I know what kind of porn you watch.  Believe me: I can find a way to make that information public.”

– Josh: “Seriously, can we just try again?”
Employment: “I’m kind of seeing other people.”

– Josh: “Please come back to me.  I really miss you.”
Happiness: “Lower your expectations and I might make an appearance.”

– Josh: {stubbing his toe} “Damnit!  Fucking door.”
Door: “Not my fault you’re clumsy.”

– Josh: “What do you say?  Should we try to ask out another girl at a bar tonight?”
Self-esteem: {wheezing, dying breaths}

“The Insulting Question We Ask Waitresses”


It’s strange that we ask waitresses what food they recommend, not only as if they’ve tried everything on the menu, but also as if a prerequisite of waitressing is having an advanced palette.  They’re always like –

Waitress: {sigh, then} “I don’t know.  Just get the Denny’s Burger.”

And isn’t that question insulting to waitresses?  I mean, what’re we implying?

Customer: “Well, you look like you’ve tried everything on the menu.  Tell me, Muffin Top, what do you prefer when you’re in the back, frantically shoveling leftovers into your mouth before your boss catches you?”

The sad part is when a waitress actually replies with –

Waitress: {mouth full of food} “I like the quesadillas.”

“Another Reason Why Honesty is Important in Relationships”


You have to be honest when you’re dating someone because kindness will screw you over.  Example: this girl I was dating tells me –

Girl: “I missed you.”

I’m like –

Josh: “Uh…I missed you, too, I guess…”

Then it escalates –

Girl: “I love you.”
Josh: “Uh…I love you, too, I guess…”
Girl: “I wanna marry you.”
Josh: “Uh……”

And before I know it, I’m at the altar saying, “I do” because, you know, I don’t want to be mean.
