Humans: the only species that thinks other humans are the strange ones. From football coaches dating swimsuit models to the latest breakroom drama, we’re less evolved and more like reality TV extras who never got the call sheet. But hey, keep judging — it’s cardio for the soul. Of course we don’t view ourselves as strange. Individually, we view those different from us as strange. Think of all the gossip, water cooler talk, and jokes we make about what others are doing.
Jack: “You see the video of the our old football coach?”
Pete: “You mean the one where he has his arm around his 24 year old GF and she’s wearing a bikini?
Jack, “That’s the one. He’s got to be 40 years older than her.”
Mike: “So, she got lucky. What’s the big deal?”
Pete: “I read where she’s choosing his clothes. Pretty soon we’ll see him in jeans with the holes in the knees.”
Mike: “I think you guys are jealous of coach.”
Jack. “Jealous, me. No way. I think she’s a trophy catch for him.”
Pete: “I got a title for a TV series: Mr. Goodbar and the Trophy.” What do you think?”
Jack: “You think he made her sign a prenup?”
Mike: “There not married and why is this something we need to talk about?”
Pete: “This is better than a reality show. Everybody is talking about it.”
Mike: “I got to get back to work?”
Jack: “Did you see Tom in accounting chatting up Mary Sue?
