Joe’s Pen Story

Modest Mouse – “The View”

Joe told me and Daniel a story the last time he was over. This is that story. Paraphrased.

“I was at work and just being dumb, and I took a pen and put it between my buttcheeks. I clenched my butt and started walking around with this pen sticking out. Charles (this guy Joe works with) thought it was really funny, so he started doing it too. I saw Christine (Joe’s manager) coming toward us, so I put the pen down and acted normal. I tried to tell Charles, but he either wasn’t paying attention or didn’t want to listen. Christine walked up and was like, “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, CHARLES? GET INTO MY OFFICE. NOW.” I just started laughing, because I did try to tell him.

A little bit later, a voice came over the intercom: “Joe, please come to the office… Joe, please come to the office.” I get in there, and Christine is sending Charles out with a “Don’t you ever do that again” message, and Charles walks by me and says something along the lines of “You’re dead, Joe. This is the LAST time you get me in trouble.” in a really high pitched nervous voice. Christine was supressing laughter and asked, “Joe, were you walking around with a PEN stuck inbetween your BUTTCHEEKS?” So I said no, and she just looked at me, so I said yeah, I was. And she just said, “Just don’t do it in front of the customers, Joe!” and let me go. “

Joe is so weird. :loco:
