Gossip
Have you heard about that flirt Nellie?
Why, sure – she’s having an affair with the cook at the deli!
Have you heard about that slacker Bob?
Uh-huh – he got fired because he was the laziest guy on the job!
(Laughter)
Have you seen Mrs Miller’s kitty?
Oh, my – it’s the ugliest cat in the city!
Have you seen the new lifeguard Dan?
Of course – there’s nothing on Earth faker than his fake tan!
(Muffled giggles)
Do you know that guy with the nose ring, Shawn?
Yes – he’s dating that girl with tattoos, Dawn!
Do you know about Dawn?
Sure – she dumped her fiancé to be with Shawn!
(Disgusted grunts)
Where there are women, there is gossip.
As a person, as a man, I cannot tolerate them anymore.
By the way, have you heard about Ella, Beth and Call?
Well, I’m going to fire them all!
