Quote from Don

Sally: Hi, Don, honey. I brought you a power shake.
Don: Oh.
Sally: How's it goin'?
Don: Great! Uh, Mr. D was complaining again about how his chair was too high, and I found the knob that makes it go down.
Sally: Oh, that's fantastic. Let's celebrate at lunch later.
Don: Oh, no can do. Oh, but that reminds me, I gotta tell 'em they rescheduled the bologna conference. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a coffee filter crisis to diffuse. Bye!
