Dinner Parties We Missed
“I was at a dinner last night where everyone in the room had to name a few policies that they thought would increase economic growth in the coming decades.”
—Ezra Klein, age 26, Washington Post
- “I’m sorry, is the riotous orgy next door?”
- “Pardon me! I’m usually able to hold it until I reach the curb.”
- “Your mother’s in here. Would you like to leave a message? I’ll see that she gets it.”
- “I’ve got a better idea. Let’s all take turns playing TSA Agent.”
- “Helen Mirren, Sigourney Weaver, Christina Hendricks. Oh, economic growth!”
- “Could somebody stick their thumb up my ass? I think my soul collapsed.”
- “Wow, that’s the best bloated goose liver produced by force-feeding pounds of grain and fat multiple times daily I’ve ever had!”
- “Hey, does anybody mind if I light a fart?”
- “Tonight, when I get home, and look in a mirror, I pray to God that something stops me from shredding my face.”
- “I was told there’d be punch and pie.”

Amateurs: I was at a dinner party the other day where we all had to identify 10 non-defense, discretionary budget cuts… through charades. Winner gets a copy of the new Max Weber biography.
I think I’d rather be face down in a pool of someone else’s vomit.
