Sanchez

I have great friends. Since we’re all pretty smart, we end up having free-cycles during the day. Shhh, don’t admit that to anyone, especially my boss, because then I’ll have to work harder, not smarter.

In a series of funny emails between me, Jeremy and my friend Rob, we started a discussion, and I just had to say,

“Get the heck out of here Jeremy!”

Oh ho ho, no no, that was just a reference to a really funny comic that my verb named friends and I like.

We did start a discussion, and in the middle of it, Jeremy blurts out:

“Wait, which one of you told me the ‘clean sanchez’ joke?”

Me:

“I think it was me, but I was just quoting Jon Stewart from earlier that week. He had a relevant, topical clip of a government wonk named Sanchez claiming not to have done anything wrong, which he made into that unbelievably wonderful pun.”

Rob:

By relevant, you mean, when it was originally aired and not now with the endless parade of reruns?

Me:

Right, relevant at the time. It was pretty recently that I saw it though, and I don’t remember whether it was current or during reruns…

Ok, a bit of searching confirms that it was from October 19 regarding the retirement of Lt. General Sanchez who had come clean about his opinions of the war. I still don’t remember whether I saw it recently during reruns and reported it to Jeremy, or if I saw it in October and it came up in more recent conversation with Jeremy.

And that’s all that I have to say right now. Sometimes, I just want to be myself, and have you love me even when I’m not funny.
