Yeah, like that'll ever happen...

Disaster Services director and Health & Safety chief instructor were wheeling the Giant TV out of this half of the building. (It'd been in here for a class last night.) Someone else comments that we ought to bring in a player and have DVD night. Disaster director spots me, grins, and says "Yeah! We could all watch movies! Jessica could come! What would you like to see - Taxi Driver, Donnie Brasco, Goodfellas, Godfather Part II?"

Leaving aside the fact that the director has a tendency to wear black shirts with white ties under grey pinstripe suit jackets, I smiled at him and said "City on Fire. Chinese gangsters, but still gangsters. I think you'd like it." (I couldn't think of Hard Boiled or another gangster flick fast enough.)

God help me if anyone ever takes me up on that.

Today's pulp survival tip is #68: Liquid meant for drinking is not supposed to give off smoke.
