The Decline of Whatever This Thing Is

A comment just made on irc:

Halfjack: My friend is an archaeologist who also teaches classics. Last time he was in the US he was chatting with a young man on the bus and when he mentioned he was an archaeologist the young man became very excited that he was some kind of scientist and demanded to know about the current progress on flying skateboards.

Overheard at the high class liquor store

Clerk 1: Yeah, I always had a bad self esteem thing going on, you know, with my looks.
Clerk 2: So with the chicks or whatever.
Clerk 1: Yeah. My brother always had some incredibly hot girl, he got this string of hotties. I mean, the girls you know, that I was with were always okay looking!
Clerk 2: Sure, like okay girls
Clerk 1: Yeah. But he had trophy after trophy.
Clerk 2: That would be cool.
Clerk 1: Hahaha, yes. Anyway, I never could wear shorts.
