Dry Clean Only…

(Scene: A Friday afternoon at the office, post-lunch but pre-afternoon snack time)

CB: Are you wearing WOOL?!?! It’s 73* outside today. Are you really cold?!

K: Yes. I actually have my heater on, and am wearing knee high socks, leather boots, and jeans.

CB: Good grief, do you have long johns on too?

K: No. That would be excessive.

CB: You know that it’s started raining, don’t you? Your sweater is going to shrink.

K: (laughs) actually, when my brother was in marching band, their uniforms were made from wool and they had to seek shelter in the rain because of that reason.

CB: So how come sheep don’t shrink in the rain?

K: (sounding superior about her knowledge) Because sheep are cotton.

(long and very silent pause)

CB: Oh for the love.

K: Wait. That’s not right.

CB: (simply shakes head and walks back into his office)

(End scene)
