it just keeps getting better

Today at Boheme:

MAN (not depressed braces guy): I was supposed to meet Carla, but she’s not here. (Exasperated sigh) DAMmit! She’s a !%?!-ing psychic! You think she’d remember!

SELF (rillyrilly trying not to laugh): Oh, I’m sorry.

MAN: I mean, why can’t she be something really useful — like telekinetic or something? I need some damn stuff moved!

  1. For some reason, this reminds me of that episode of “Friends” where someone steals Monica’s (Courtney Cox’s) identity and signs up for a tap class. So Monica/Courtney buys another spot in the tap class so she can spy on/possibly confront her fake doppelganger. But instead of hating her eevill twin, she ends up admiring her and they become rebel-best friends. Until of course eevill twin burns Monica/Courtney and runs for the hills.

    I think Carla’s poured from the same mold.

  2. lolololol.

    “Why can’t she be something really useful?”

    (That said…damn, I’d LOVE to be telekinetic. That would mean I could confiscate cell phones being used in my classes without ever having to go up to the student. And I could teleport all the papers stacking up in my office to the recycling center).

  3. Carla’s looking for the poor guy at the coffeehouse owned by NANCY. She gets a little mixed-up, y’know. Rain, tremors, smog, sunshine, little yapping dogs–all sorts of things interfere with her super intuitive powers.

  4. She must have thought that he was going to forget, so she decided to pre-empt him. Either that, or she knows that in two years they will be bitterest enemies, so she’s getting a head start.
