. . . but some people don't.
So I was at work on Friday, and my boss was trying to figure out if 'over [something]' (I can't remember the exact words) was one word, two words, or two hyphenated words. Eventually, folks came to a consensus that it was two words. I then said to him, "Yeah, two words would work all right. But I definitely wouldn't try to make it three."
He stared at me for five seconds or so.
"I don't think you could make it into three words," he said.
If I knew my boss better, I would've laughed. As some of you may know, my failed attempts at making other people laugh often make me laugh. Unfortunately, people who don't know me very well tend to think I'm laughing at them when this happens. So I try not to do it unless I'm confident a person will take it the right way.
But one of my fellow sports writers came to my rescue. "Sure you could," he said and then offered some preposterous three-word version of 'over [something].'
"I guess you can," my boss said.
I'm grateful for everyday silly (20).

At first I thought you were just calling me a nut. Then I realized that you were parralleling the intro to this post. Layers, dude. Layers.
It's pretty safe to say that it was a little of both...
I didn't quite get what the yeah, yeah, yeah, post meant. Are you a big fan of indie music?
