pound it down

coworker: but i'm not driving back
me: i drove back last year and got a $300 ticket so i refuse
coworker: yeah but i'll be drunk. i'm going to continue drinking until 4am!
me: but aren't you old? how do you do it? i'm 25 and i can't do it!
coworker: yeah but i have nothing else to look forward to in my life

me: when did i start working here?
Bryan: 1929. I remember because my sticks went down
Bryan: stocks too
Bryan: I wore an onion on my belt
know why?
Bryan: because it was the style at the time
Bryan: not a white onion, a red one, on account of the white ones all being used in the wat
war
Bryan: back then a red onion'd cost ya 3 for a nickel, "give me 3 onions for a hogger" because the nickel had a pig on it which was used to help settle the west.
But it wans't made from nickel at all, a hogger was actually made from steel because of the war you see
Bryan: oh but the onions and my old pal Stanley McGee went down to the general store to get some change to use in the sody pop machine when we came across a travelling salesman offering us 4 red onions for half a hogger
Bryan: Joey Jo Jo Jr Shabadoo was his name, I remember that because my mother's name was Joey through an interesting turn of events that transpired around the turn of the century
