overheard

"Hey Jenn," one of the mangers called me back to the contractors desk.

"What's up?"

"Did you see a black hoe back here Friday?"

The backstory was that it was something for a will call. I don't remember it being there, and we're short one in the inventory. Don't know if it ever turned up or just written off.

But after I denied knowledge of said garden tool, I couldn't think of the irony of the question in the wake of the Imus incident.
