Chicks Who Masturbate == Hot. Racists == Not Hot.

Racism is like porn...it's publicly taboo, but everyone does it. If you say you're not racist, it's like you're a chick saying you don't masturbate, which is totally fucking false and everyone knows it.

Guy 1: "So I saw you had a note on your desk from security, was that serious or was someone having some fun with you?"

Guy 2: "I don't know, I would've thought security would leave a number but a joker would have wanted "to do a reveal and see my face."

Guy 1: Well it wasn't me and I knew nothing of it, in case you were wondering."

Guy 2: (using fingerquotes) "Yeah I didn't think it was you unless you used your "Girl Handwriting" superpower"

Guy 1: "Well I could have but I would have needed 24 hours to recharge my superpower meter, and you know you just can't do that before a holiday weekend involving pyrotechnics. You're just begging for a hook hand."
