Context: phone call....
Me- Hi, Can I throw away these old credit reports from 2007?
Bryan- Uh, sure.
Me- How about the ones from 2008?
Bryan-well, can't we save them?
Me-why?
Bryan- I don't know.
Me- Can I throw away this stuff from Charles Schwab? Do we have anything with them?
Bryan-Not yet, but don't throw it away.
Me- How about this thing for your bike that says Mavic on it?
Bryan - you can toss that.
This went on for a couple of minutes. All the while Bryan is trying to get off the phone with me and I was not going to back down. I have been in this darn study for two and a half hours trying to clean it up and organize and I find a pile of papers that Bryan brought home from Akin Gump. Needless to say we both got a good laugh at the end of our conversation when I said,
"You know, you would cause me a lot less work if you would actually do your own throwing away."
