explaining the mat joke

Me: Mat has a very thankless and underappreciated job (so do substitute teachers). All day he lays outside the door and everybody comes in and walks all over him and wipes their dirty shoes off on him. Some people don't even wear shoes:eek: After a while he gets kind of bitter and :grouchy: also some of the dirt on people's feet gets into his mouth, hence the language. About the only break he gets is occassionally when a woman wearing a skirt comes in:halo:

Mat: Hey, you didn't have to put in that last sentence, now they know why I took this job! Sheesh!

*Garbage truck drives up*

Garbage Man: Hey, somebody threw out a pefectly good mat! Hey Mat, what are you doing out here?
Mat: They fired me!
Gabage Man: Fired you? Why?
Mat: Too dirty, I guess.
Garbage Man: Aww I can fix that. *goes in truck and come back out with soap, bleach and scrub brush*
Mat *being cleaned up* : Hey that tickles
Garbage man: There, nice and clean
Mat: Thanks, why you being so nice to me?
Garbage Man: Let's just say I know what your job is like *points out stuff in truck*
Mat: Yeah, I see what you mean. Do you think they'll take me back?
Garbage Man: Only one way to find out.
Mat: Well, since I can't go up to the door myself would you mind taking me.
Garbage Man: Certainly *picks up mat, rolls it up, carries it to door, and lays it out* Looks like a nice place. Do you mind?
Mat: Go right ahead, it's my job.
Garbage Man: Thanks *wipes feet, comes in, proceeds to bar, orders drink in a dirty glass.

I suggest we crazily praise him until we turn lime
green--or blue.

:stick_out_tongue:

Meep, I'm just gonna find clips of him.

Wow! That Dave Goelz is fantastic! He's so great. He's like... a genius... wonderful performer... fantabulous... splendiferous... awe-inspiring (because every time we see him, we go "Awwwww," :stick_out_tongue: ) great artist, wonderful voice, terrific singer...

*begins to turn blue (I turned green yesterday)*

You know, a lot of Dave's characters are either green or blue...
