The Sheer Brilliance of Our Summer Interns
Intern 1: I don’t know what I’m doing for lunch. Do you think, like, Japanese food is cheaper than sushi?
Intern 2: Aren’t they the same?
Intern 1: I don’t know. I figured they cost about the same, but I’m not sure.
Intern 2: No, I mean, sushi is Japanese.
Intern 1: Huh? It is? What do you mean?
The rest of the conversation was drowned out by the sound of me banging my head against my desk.

says:My guess is that Intern 1 probably meant non-sushi Japanese food, e.g., chicken katsu or something like that. You can get that stuff as a lunch special for, like, $6 or $7.

I was going to go for tacos today, but then decided I’d rather have Mexican food.
When did you change your picture?

says:Oh come on now, don’t hate the interns. They may be dumb, but they’re always good when used as scapegoats and/or drunken hook-ups.
