News from Shakes Manor

Posted by Melissa McEwan at Wednesday, August 29, 2007
Jack and I were just chatting by email about our ardor for The Office, and it put me in mind of this exchange that took place at Shakes Manor the other day:

Me: [standing in front of pantry] Jell-O? What the poop? Did you buy Jell-O?

Mr. Shakes: Yeah.

Me: Why?

Mr. Shakes: Because it's tasty!

Me: [squinching face] Really?

[It is important to note here that I meant "Really, you think it's tasty?" but Mr. Shakes thought I meant "Really, that's why you bought it?"]

Mr. Shakes: Fine, ye caught me! I'm planning oon putting all your shit in Jell-Oo, Dwight.
