That is the best fucking thing I've seen in about 6 months. If Obama had actually done that, I would ... blow Mark Zuckerberg. Trust me, that is saying A LOT.
Here's the story. It's not hilarious, it's stupid.
I was at work - I was a secretary at the time, for a large insurance claims office. I'd just walked to the kitchen to get a coffee. We had one of those coffee machines, so as it was doing its thing, I wandered into the break room. Two co-workers were standing there in front of the television, as stiff as wooden boards - the tv wasn't usually on during the day, but before I had a chance to even think about how that was weird, I saw a plane fly into one of the towers.
It was way too much too absorb. One of my co-workers said, "The World Trade Center is under attack." in a completely flat tone, the way you'd say, "The post office is on the corner."
I turned to grab my coffee and said the most asinine thing possible, "How can the World Trade Center be under a tack? A tack is tiny, and a building is huge." I looked into my cup. The machine had brewed me a disgusting cup of weak coffee. Again.
I walked back to my cubicle. My friend Nancy had grown used to the sound of my walk, so when she heard me approaching, her silver-haired head with the bright smile popped out of her cubicle and she said brightly, "What's up?"
I said, "The coffee machine is giving brown water and planes are flying into the World Trade Center."
