Real Work Conversations: In Hell

My boss: (picking up the phone) "Dante's Seventh Level."

Me: "The icy center."

Boss: "Just sec." (To me) "What was that? I heard 'icy' something."

Me: "Icy center. That's what you get when you get to the seventh level. It's the icy center."

Boss: "I thought it was a gooey center."

Me: "That's a Tootsie-Pop."

  1. Yeah, EXCEPT the icy center is the Ninth Level.

  2. Clearly I need to brush up on my Dante.

    Either that, or we draw the line at Fraud and Treachery? Um, yeah. That must be it...

Feel free to leave comments; it lets me know that people are actually reading my blog. Interesting tangents and topic drift just add flavor. Linking to your own stuff is fine, as long as it's at least loosely relevant. Be civil, and have fun!
