Inspired by the ever-entertaining original, here are some snippets overheard in the newspaper office. Most of them from one crazy (hilarious) day and straight from the intern's ears.

Staff Writer: "Ok, I have to leave. I'm not talking to anymore people about anymore things. Talk to my hand!"

Editor: "Why do you want to leave here? It's the most awesome place in the land!"

Editor: "That's my facebook status update. Job drives me to drink. So does breathing though. And talking to stupid people."

Editor, almost to himself: "What does FML mean?"

Everyone in the office: "FUCK MY LIFE!"

Editor: "We like words! I can haz journalism? I can haz copywriter?"

Staff Writer, singing: "And I am living in a material world..."

Editor 1: "Why is the blog being GAY?!"

Editor 2: "Don't be homophobic! Don't be bloghomophobic, now!"

Editor 1: "Please. I'm the biggest fruit fly there is."

Editor: "Imma call up Michelle [Obama] and be like 'hey gurl hey'."

Me: "If the crazy lady tries to call you again on my phone, what do you want me to do?"

Editor: "Say that I'm dead."
