A Tale Of Two Cities, And New Haven

New York City: Boston!  Hey, how’s it going, dude?
Boston: Hey man, I’m good, you?
New York City: Can’t complain.  Oh, I forgot to ask you last time we…
New Haven runs into the room
New Haven: Hey yooooo!  ‘Sup dudes?
New York City: Ugh…Hey, New Haven.  
New Haven: Hey yourself.  Sup Boston, too cool to say hi?
Boston: Yeah, I am.
New Haven: HA!  Eat a dick, BUTTston!  Ah, the big three, back together again.  So, what’s on the agenda, gents?
New York City: Well, I was just going to ask Boston about his marathon this year.  I wanted to make sure we didn’t plan them on the same weekend.  
Boston: You’re doing the 14th, right?  
New York City:  Yeah.
Boston: That should be fine.  I’m doing the…
New Haven: Whoa, the 14th?  Hate to rain on this parade but I’ve got a 5K that weekend.  It’s pretty big.  A couple hundred people turned up last year and WEBE108 was broadcasting from the finish line.  I wouldn’t want you to lose any tourism dollars so maybe you should move yours?
New York City: Nah, I’m good.  I’m sure I’ll still get a decent turnout.  
New Haven:  Word, word.  So BUTTston, what’s new?  Any new boyfriends?
Boston: Hey, New Haven, how’s your arena?
New York City: Hey…come on, man…
Boston: What?  He’s a grown up.  
New Haven: It’s, uh…Well, funny thing, actually.  I tore it down or whatever.  I was bored with it.  
Boston: Oh wow, you just tore it down all on your own?  Not because it was a blight on the community?  Not because it was home to a whopping zero professional sports teams?  
New York City: Alright, that’s enough.  
Boston: Fine…fine.  I wouldn’t have to be like that if someone would realize when he’s not wanted.  
New Haven: I’m just as much a city as you are, BUTTston!  
Providence runs in, grabbing New Haven.
Providence: It’s not worth it, man.  You’ve got Yale, you’ve got good pizza.  Who cares what Boston says?  Let’s go, ok?
New Haven: Yeah…yeah, fine.  
New Haven and Providence leave.
New York City: Dude, you two need to learn to get along.  
Boston: Whatever.  He’s just a pain in the ass.  You hear that, New Haven?  You’re a PAIN IN THE ASS!
The basement door swings open
Philadelphia: YO!  Shut the f*ck up, man!  You’re being loud as hell.
Boston: Oh my bad…fag.
Philadelphia: What?  
Boston: Nothing.

I work as an it-wizzard (according to the it-illeterate) at a big company. Some day I was reading about left-turning barteria on a carton of yogurt. That moment my boss walked in and asked me if it was possible to get information out of an specific database. It was one of those days that I had all the work I could handle so I answered: No, thats not possible because we only... Read More » have right-turning disks in the server where the database was. He looked at me, a little insecure, siad "oh, ok" and walked off. It still puts a smile on my face.
