best of: overheard at work

[marcicat]

My work!neighbor and my new!boss had the *greatest* conversation last night, and I wish I could render it in all its glory, but here’s the basic plot:

Neighbor: “I don’t believe in ghosts.”

Boss: “Oh, I do.” ::tells long story about why, with digressions into why she doesn’t want her kids to use ouija boards and why she prays::

Neighbor: “I just think if there were ghosts, we would know. We would hear about it.”(*)

Boss: “But look at everything they’re already covering up with aliens!”(**)

[*I thought this was a particularly odd argument, since she had JUST HEARD someone tell about their personal experience with a ghostly presence.]

[**This was probably the best counter-argument ever in what was already a pretty awesome conversation. Random, but awesome.]
