True story. We have TVs going in the hallways at work. Sound was off and one guy was mesmerized by the woman giving a report on the local all news channel.

When the commercials came on he said, 'that weather girl is pretty damn hot."

"She's a lot hotter than you realize."

"How do you figure that?" he asked

"That wasn't a weather report, it was a traffic report."

My wife then asked me if I had a crush on her. "What? No. I just know a lot about her." And that was that.

This post made me realize... well shit.
