Brick

setup: Shunk walks by my desk, looks at me and shakes his head. less than a minute later he's walked by my desk again, stopped, looked at me and shook his head again. On the third time by, I finally ask what's on his mind. The following is a true conversation.

"oh nothing, you'd think it's stupid."

"well, why don't you tell me?"

"OK. I was cleaning out my crawl space this weekend and I found a pile of bricks."

"Okay, I could use some bricks."

"No, that's not the good part. The good part is that they have 'Butler' stamped in them. And when I found them, I thought 'hunh, Katina would like this, it's got her name on it.' and then I thought 'no! that's stupid, she'd think it's stupid.'"

"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!? I want one. I want one of these 'Butler' bricks of which you speak."

"you're just saying that."

"No, I'm not. I'm serious. I want one of these bricks. It would make my dad SOOOO jealous."
