Saturday late morning, early afternoon story time with me

Gather around folks. Today's story concerns the highly debated, rarely decided, facebook vs. myspace discussion, which ends on an unexpected light note of sheer hilarity.

Two days ago, a few of my co-workers and I were having a random discussion while our boss was out of the room. Other were simply sitting around the central room in the middle of our work area, getting ready to consume their lunches that they had brought from our company's cafeteria. It was clear that me and my talkative co-workers had their full attention, while waiting for their lunches to cool to avoid getting a case of burned tongue.

The discussion centered around one particular co-worker who had just separated from his wife of five years and was starting to date again. He routinely visits various social dating websites on the company computer, when the boss isn't looking. We let him get away with this since he's generally and good work who gets a lot done whenever he's not gazing and young available girls online.

Another one of my co-workers is a single mom of a teenage daughter, who is luckily one of only two females in our work area. The guys I work with typically pay a lot of attention to her since a women is a uncommon commodity in our field, even if she's a middle aged mother of one. Anyways, she started to ask my divorced co-worker how he was copping with his single life. So we were talking about checking out different dating sites like facebook and myspace and how single men of today can pursue the opposite sex from the comfort of their computer workstation.

Here's the exciting part of the story. When facebook and myspace where brought up into our conversional, my female co-worker was reminded our her previous concerns with her teenage daughter using these websites.

So she asked us (all guys), "So what's the difference between facebook and myspace, anyway?"

The guys responded, "Well, not much! The only thing is that facebook is geared more towards adults, whereas myspace is more for younger boys and girls."

That's when I added, "Yeah! That's pretty much right! Facebook is much cleaner than Myspace."

Then the mother of one replied, "Oh! Cleaner? So you mean the picture resolutions are higher?!!

We all laughed out loud. 'Cause she was serious, you see.

Others started eating. And then the boss walked in. We still laughed it out while getting some work done. End of story.

Damn it! I have too many grammer errors. I should've proof read it before submiting. Oh well, you will forgive, I hope.

 

Why the negative comments? Albeit I enjoy the constructive criticism. I guess I'll have to stay away from my story tellings for the time being. Until I have a sharper set of tools to work with.
