Finance manager: "every time I see tim [one of the deans], I just keep thinking about how I saw him once in the bathroom, slumped over a urinal…"
Executive assistant: "marshall, please stop now."
Finance manager: "… Like he couldn't get all the way to the toilet. He was tossin' his cookies. He looked bad. I asked him if he needed a ride home, and he said his wife was coming. I guess when your time is up, you've gotta do what you've gotta do. At least he made it past the sink. It has that little grate thing in it."
Executive assistant: *face in hands, shaking her head back and forth*.
Finance manager: "you'll probably think of that every time you see him now, huh?" *walks away*.
