The Dell Guy Meets Justin Long


Dell guy:  Hey!  Hey, you’re Justin Long!

Justin Long:  Do I know you?

Dell guy:  Yeah dude, it’s me!  The Dell guy!

Justin Long: I’m sorry I….

Dell guy:  Come on, man.  “Dude, you’re getting a Dell!”? 

Justin Long:  Yeah I…I guess I vaguely remember you.

Dell guy:  You better, man!  You’re kind of like the new me! But for Apple!

Justin Long:  Listen I gotta go, I’m filming DieHard 4 today.

Dell guy:  Oh dude, that’s awesome!  Being a computer spokesperson is like the BEST WAY to get into show business.

Justin Long:  Actually I was already in a couple movies beforehand, so. 

Dell guy:  I mean, same difference, right man?

Justin Long:  Not really…

Dell guy:  DUDE, how sweet are the discounts?  I got like 20% off my Dell.

Justin Long:  That’s…really great.

Dell guy:  And how about the pay?  I made like $200,000 bucks off those commercials, dude! Fucking BANK!  Hey, hey dude how much did you get from Apple?

Justin Long:  Oh it’s not really important…

Dell guy:  Come on, tell me!  It’s not a big deal if it’s less, I totally haggled with those Dell dudes.

Justin Long:  Apple paid me a couple million dollars just to decline other commercial offers.

[pause]

Dell guy:  Oh…yeah okay…I mean, Dell offered me that but I turned it down, dude.  Like to keep my options open.

Justin Long:  Oh really?  I haven’t really seen you in any—

Dell guy:  I’M PICKY, OK!?!?

[pause]

Dell guy:  Can I have your autograph?

Justin Long:  I mean…I guess.  What do you want it to say?

Dell guy:  “Dell guy – You’re cool, here’s a million dollars.  Signed, Justin Long.”

Justin Long:  Yeah, I’m not going to sign that.

Dell guy:  Oh man, are you serious?  Dude, I really need the money, dude.

Justin Long:  What happened to the $200k?

Dell guy:  I, uh…it got stolen.

Justin Long: Sure it did. 

Dell guy:  Listen dude, I’m desperate.  You know what I’m doing now?  I’m a fucking waiter at Tortilla Flats in New York City, dude.  I host ‘Trivia Night’ for god’s sake.  None of my bosses even know my name!  (begins weeping)   

Justin Long:  Listen man, I gotta go. (walks away)

Dell guy:  Wait!  Dude, WAIT!  I’M THE ORIGINAL PC!  YOU’RE A MAC!  I’M A FUCKING PC!!

[silence]

Dell guy:  Dude, I’m going to kill myself.

A Christmas Larceny

I used to work for a chinese computer company that no longer exists; one Christmas Eve a man comes into the store right as we are closing and counting money and insists that we start up the Point of Sale system again and sell him the video card he reserved online. We tell him that the computers have been shut down and all the transactions of the day batched and sent to the... Read More » credit card vendor. He keeps telling us that it's already paid for etc. and we keep telling him we can't process any more transactions until the morning of Dec. 26th. He then takes out a revolver and makes us lay on the floor while he steals the cash drawers and takes off. Turns out he had in fact reserved the video card online and his full name, address and phone number were in the system along with his email address; i bet his New Year sucked.
