Office Chatter

Word’s out around work about my trailer mobile home. Reactions have been mixed:

1) Him: Wow. I’ve never known anyone who lived in a trailer park before.
Me: Well, now you do!
Him: Interesting. This is interesting.

2) Him: Is it mobile?
Me: Huh?
Him: Your mobile home. Is it really mobile? Like, can you drive away or move it?
Me: Uhhh, no. It’s stationery.
Him: Then it’s not a mobile home, now is it?

3) (Before Christmas) Him: Is it like the Trailer Park Boys?
Me: Yes, and I’m the Sheriff!

(After Christmas) Him: I watched the Trailer Park Boys Christmas Special and thought of you and all the fun.
Me: Did the Special include a scene with someone under the sink with a hair blower trying to thaw out their pipes?
Him: No, but that would have been awesome.

4) Her: Were you not CLOSE ENOUGH to your mother already?
Me: I'm still, like, down the street and around the corner! I don't live right beside her or anything.
 
5) Her: Is your crooked trailer, like, considered a step up from your crooked house?
Me: Yes, yes, yes. Totally.
Her: How, exactly?
