O, birdman, where art thou?

Overheard in the Office:

Me: "Huh. Jeb Corliss is banned for life from setting foot in the Empire State Building..."

RX: "Was it all of 'em, or just the one?"

Sounds like Murdoch and Newscorp need to get some of those "Tools of Satan" Smartphones and figure out just what day it is. There's an App for that, you know.; 10:51 AM, February 28, 2012

Matt G said...: Given the things that he's done in the meantime, I should think that parachuting the ESB would be a bit passé for him, now, anyway.; 3:11 PM, February 28, 2012

*At some point earlier in my life I wanted to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Then I heard my dads story of doing that... Then I broke both legs and had metal rods put in. Then the doctor told me what would happen unless I had the rods removed. I'm not jumping anytime soon. (One rod is currently irremovable thanks to a broken drill bit)*; 3:40 PM, February 28, 2012

Matt G said...: He, uh, won't be jumping again soon, apparently. He has a little bit of rehab to do after hitting a mountain in South America this January.; 5:10 PM, February 28, 2012
