Cube dweller #1: You've worked with giraffes?
Cube dweller #2: Yeah, transporting them is a real pain. They go in an open trailer, and every time you get to an overpass, you have to either let air out of all the tires to fit under it, or you have to stop, back them out of the trailer, walk them around the overpass, get them back in the trailer… It takes forever to get anywhere.
Cube dweller #1: Can't you just teach them to duck?
Cube dweller #2: (long pause) Not at those speeds.

Suit #1: I saw a show where the cook made food out of his wife's breast milk. Then he gave it to people to taste. That's weird.
Suit #2: Not really weird. Humans drink breast milk. People like breasts and will always be on the hunt for breasts–even when they're as young as babies!
