Phone call with my boss

Me: Hi
My Boss: Hey, did you know Chris Farley was working for us now?
Me: Do you mean the new guy?
My Boss: Yeah, he looks like a combination of Chris Farley and who was that guy in King Kong and School of Rock?
Me: Jack Black?
My Boss: That's it!
This was in response to an email that we out earlier today announcing the new hires. These emails are accompanied by the most unflattering, unattractive head shots of the new employees. I've always found the whole thing really unfair and borderline cruel. And while I DO think it's unkind to sit around on the phone with your boss and have conversations like the one above, these pictures sometimes leave you no choice.

My Co-worker: Are you on your way to the office?

My Co-worker: Okay, that's good. I was going to tell you not to come in. The building flooded and the fire department is here.
