Big Boss: "What is your hat supposed to be?"
Wren: "It's a panda."
Big Boss: "Did a dye job go badly last night?"
Wren: "I've had this hat for years."
Big Boss: "That's an avoidance question."
Wren: "No, but I am planning on redying my hair on Wednesday after the exam."
Bossman Prime: "Is that in celebration?"
Wren: "No, it's more of a 'yay, I have time!' thing."
Big Boss: "I should get a hat. An enormous pumpkin."
Wren: "Yes, you should."
The office suddenly goes deadly silent. This is a feat, since there are eight people standing three feet away from this conversation.
Big Boss: "What do you think people would do if I wore that around at work?"
Wren: "I think they'd find you quite cheerful."
Big Boss: "Really."
Wren: "Oh, certainly."
Big Boss: "What if someone was running in here, and their child was dying, and they saw you in a panda hat."
Wren: "Then the panda hat would be the least of their worries."
Big Boss: "Wren, I am trying to be as nice as possible about this. Are you having a bad hair day or something?"
Wren: "Big Boss, if you want me to take the hat off, tell me to take the hat off."
Big Boss: "..."
Wren: "I'm taking the hat off."
Ten minutes after I get told I have the apartment and can sign the lease next week.

Apparently some powers that be are striving for balance in your life.
Boy do I have a story for you.
007 contacted two men digging through the dumpster behind WSC. When asked about their activities, they said they were looking for food. They claimed to have no meal points, and no money to buy other meal points. 007 said that he would pay for a case of Top Ramen rather than have them go through the trash. He purchased a case of Top Ramen at Safeway and brought it back to Base
They can have my points!
The sad thing is, the garbage probably has more nutritional content than a case of Top Ramen.
