running with stevie

Sometimes the little things are the funniest.

A conversation stevie janz had today while trying to pick-up some black latex paint I had ordered at one of our suppliers.

Steve: hi, I’m here to pick-up some paint for veidt (our production company)
Clerk: huh, for who?
Steve: veidt
Clerk: the letter V
Steve: no ****, $$$$$
Clerk: oh, you mean the *****?
Steve: (blankly) yes
the clerk goes in the back asking for if anyone has seen a pick-up for watchmen. Steve sees a box on the ground that says ‘garnet’ on it. When he comes out of the back steve says:
steve: hey there it is right there
clerk: what?
Steve: the box, the one that says garnet on it
Clerk: no, that’s not garnet, that’s black. You know that right?
Steve: huh?

All’s well that ends well….steve now knows that garnet is sometimes a color choice and the clerk at coast signature paint has met steve janz. Good all around.

I love it.
