On A Certain Amount of Bullshit

My boss, the other day, said to me, “I just can’t stand the guys in advertising anymore, Porter. I mean, there’s only a certain amount of bullshit I can take from people.”

So I said, “Well, then, I hope I have been providing you with the exact amount of bullshit you require.”

She grimaced. I froze. She stared at me for a minute and a half. Then I blinked. Then she fired me.

Getting fired for blinking: Man, what bullshit.
