Rick: "So, looking forward to Denver?" (Our sales kickoff is there this year.)
Chris: "Oh, yeah. Gonna go get out of the hotel when I can, try to relax, have a little vacation."
Rick: "Don't forget to try to grow your hair out some to fit in."
Chris: "Oh, sure. Grow my hair out, smoke some dope..."
Rick: "Get some Birkenstocks."
Chris: "...aren't those, like, lesbian shoes?"
Rick: "-what-?"
Chris: "You know, man, the kinda butch types, and that's the shoes they all wear, isn't that right?"

Rick: "...I don't think I can continue with this conversation..."

Yeah, you've no idea how hard it was to sit still and not turn around and stare during this. Especially at the whispered terror of Lesbian Shoes!

When I can get out of here, I am probably gonna sit in the car and just laugh for, like, 20 minutes.

*facepalm* Yeah, sure, and we all were flannel shirts, too. Jeeeeezus.

Let's just say there's a reason this guy's 30something and been divorced 3 times..

Besides, everyone knows you can't play pro golf or softball in Birks. ;)

Somewhere, deep within the BirkenCaves, they're mining out Birkenstocks with cleats. And if you wore some good hiking socks, I bet it'd work...

Nah. Can't reinforce the toes of hiking socks enough. Steel toed boots are better for grinding the balls of stupid men against their pelvises. *nodnod* Easier to clean, too.

Now I'm picturing Chris overhearing a female coworker talking about how her case of strep's really made her uvula sore and flying into a righteous you-can't-say-that-here tizzy. Or getting wood.

Very possibly both.
