Michael: you're a cruel mistress
Paul: indeed
11:23 AM Michael: maybe i should buy it for maggie's birthday and she''ll give it to you, thereby gaining me favor in two people's eyes
11:25 AM or maybe i'll buy maggie a bowling bowl that says "Paul" on it
11:26 AM ball
a bowling bowl - i'm hysterical
Paul: that would be amazing
you are
it's true
11:27 AM Michael: in my office they call me "the funny one" but that is also followed by "that nerdy, Jewish kid that always reeks of whisky"
Paul: that's why we're friends. well, one reason.
the other is because i'm jewish
11:28 AM Michael: both good reasons
i don't talk to non-jews
11:29 AM Paul: that's so true
gufaw
Michael: scoff
let's throw our gold at them!
we control the media, we can always make more
11:31 AM i'm thinking of converting to catholicism, can you describe its benefits package for me?
Paul: you get salvation. you get jesus. he's pretty cool, i gotta say. and you get communion. if you want.
Michael: free wine at church??
i'm so in
11:32 AM Paul: it's actually wine AND a wafer
both transubstantiated
Michael: for my eating pleasure
11:33 AM that sounds like a good deal though, can have it shipped to my house? in boxes, ideally
Paul: ha. you'd have to be really desperate to try to have that as a snack. you're sacreligious. i don't like you anymore.
also, you taste like a burger
brb
Michael: but i want to telesalavate
ok

11:41 AM Paul: we should market telesalavation on qvc
