Des Phoques!
Ok, so this bit is too funny not to share...
French for "seal" is phoque. It's prounounced just like our "fuck." So, next time you slip up and shout out the F word, just say you were screaming out seal in French!
Even better: many seals is des phoques, which is pronunced like "de fuck." STELLAR!
So, today I made my first joke in French, only understandable to somebody who is bi-lingual like Alex.... "Tu es un bon phoque!" Which literally is, You are a good....seal *coughs*. Alex liked it.

Ok, so I need to have a job with benefits, right? My good friend Terry (he's been a close friend of mine since I was 17...met him during my Duke days) was working as the manager of a coffee shop in Durham and then the coffee shop closed down. He sought new employment. You will NEVER guess what he does now.
He watches hardcore pornography.
No, I kid you not. He works for Adam and Eve and writes up their catalogues. Therefore, he must watch the porn flicks to write up a summary on them. He has his own office close to his house...no overtime...9 to 5...$34k per year with FULL benefits...and after one year there, he can get all of his schooling reimbursed at 100%.
Where do we sign up?

Amanda, do you remember when we were in Savannah, somewhere near Gotham Bank and Barnyard, I think... and we were discussing les phoques? No wonder that guy wanted to give us twenty dollars.
