The higher ups

Special K: My new manager works in Boulder. He has a master's degree in biblical exegisis.

b1-66er: Good or bad one?

K: I haven't met him yet, but I'm not sanguine.

From this school: https://www.wheaton.edu/

b1: (They're a big deal.  Not pursuing is surprising.)

K: Pursuing what?

b1: Theology.

K: Oh God.

b1: Precisely.

Careful when you talk to him about the bible...he'll know more than you will.

K: If I'm talking to him about the Bible, something has gone wrong.

Anyway, I don't expect to report to him for long. I think our group

 will crumble entirely by end of year or so.

What does a devout Christian think of Jews, anyway? How can they not think less of us?

b1: Depends on the Xian.

Something between "old stock" and "not yet learned."

K: I'll be sure to confess my Judaism to my new boss at first meeting.

b1: You won't have to.

He'll either already know or won't care.  (Only Semites and anti-Semites care who the Jews are.)

K: What if I greet him with "L'chaim?"

b1: Tell me.

K: I'll say 'L'chaim, Reverend!"

b1: That plays.

K: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wick-K-pedia

b1-66er: What will you miss most about living?

Special K: That depends. What is death like?

b1: It's like a match being blown out.

K: I'll miss the candle.

I see red

Special K: This is on the whiteboard of the conference room I'm in.  {Sunnyvale, CA; USA}

Dis-robe

The accomplice: Just woke up from a nightmare where you were kidnapped after meeting someone at a coffeeshop--in your bathrobe! And I waited to call 911 because I thought you'd come back. And I was sexually assaulted (not raped, but close) while I was looking for you in the streets. I woke up because I couldn't understand the woman when I finally was able to call 911. Why did you go to that sinister meeting IN YOUR BATHROBE!?!?

b1-66er: It was easier than finding my other pair of clean pants.

Ta: Okay! I understand that.

"Birth control and family planning"

My 'family plan' is to not have one and get an abortion.'

They'll send you to a place, I bet.

b1: Oh.

Buffet Crisis?

b1-66er: "An impeachment inquiry is not a dinner invitation."

Special K: Right. Because dinner is delicious.

Flying the pocket rockets

b1-66er (flying LAS -> PHX): I haven't flown AA in YEARS.

b1-67er (flying SJC -> PHX): I think they went bust and were reconstituted.

66: The passengers look/act like the misbegotten.

I fit right in.

BIG argument from a woman who has 5 bags.

"I WILL NOT CHECK ONE!  EVEN FOR FREE!  THERE ARE THINGS IN HERE THAT CAN BREAK!"

67: Here they look normal but a little old. Definitely not the Allegiant mad dog 20/20 crowd.

66: I like that term.

AMD-20.

How many boarding zones ARE there?

  I'm in 9.

67: I'm in 9. They just announced that if you don't have a boarding group, board with 7.  So we are on Team Behind Team Last Place.

66: I shouldn't chortle snort laugh before i board a plane.

67: The airlines are playing a new discount ticket game: we will sell you a cheap ticket but then subject you to psychological warfare.

I bet their lawyers are looking at waterboarding.
