setting: a warehouse in northeastern massachusetts. DadCat is working an openhouse at this warehouse with a few other guys - it is not his home warehouse, he's just there to help for the day. his co-worker from the home warehouse, tom, is manning the store there.
time: mid-afternoon.
my dad's phone rings, and he answers it.
tom (gravely): DadCat! hey, have you heard what's happening?
DadCat (concerned): no, what?
tom: BC is down by five with like thirty seconds left in overtime!
DadCat: oh my god! are you serious?
tom: yeah. i thought you'd want to know. put it on the radio or something.
DadCat: jesus. ok.
tom: all right, talk to you later.
DadCat: ok, bye.
DadCat turns to the other guys at the warehouse, who are all looking at him with stricken faces.
guy (concerned): what happened??
DadCat: BC is down by five with thirty seconds left in overtime.
guy: jesus, i thought somebody died or something!
DadCat (reaching for the radio dial): people die every day. for god's sake, this is BC basketball!
and you wonder where i get it from.....
