Stank

Watching an episode of "The Office" tonight reminded me of a funny story:

One night, surrounded by our dogs, Blake was busy studying and I was just relaxing and reading. I had remembered a stupid (but amusing) joke I had heard at work and decided to give it a try on B.

Without looking up from my book, I squinted up my face and said, "Whew. It smells like updog in here."

He looked over at me, confused, but just dismissed my comment and said nothing in response.

About 10 minutes later I let out a little whiff and casually muttered while glancing over the dogs, (and still not making eye contact) "Hmm. It really smells like updog."

He stops studying and squints... (I am trying my best to be uninterested and continue to not look at him) he looks a me, eyes big, brow furrowed, mouth formed to utter, "Huh?"

But I ignore... and pretend to be absolutely indulged in my reading.
This works. He goes back to studying after surveying the room... still unsure as to what I am talking about.

Finally about five more minutes go by and I can no longer hold my "disgust" in and ask him, "Do you smell that?" Adding, "It really smells like updog in here."

His reply....
"What's up dog?"
I smile and say, "Not much. What's up with you?"

We both burst out laughing.
