Beating The Dead (Blue) Horse

The guy who has the misfortune of having to sit across from me at work is the head of sales/relationship managment for our group, Frank. Frank's a very intelligent and witty guy who reads The Economist, is addicted to eBay and bikes a lot. So he's kinda like me--only a hell of a lot quieter. And older.

Frank's a little eccentric, and keeps tabs on random things. Today I found out that the Cub fan who sits next to him has tried to antagonize me for 17 business days IN A ROW by bringing up the attendance disparity between Chicago's two ballclubs.

So 17 days in a row I've responded with a lame comment about yapping on your cell phone with your sweater tied over your shoulders. Yawn.
