I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.

Absolutely lost it at the coworking place. Luckily it wasn't too packed. Thank you kind sir.

What on earth does this have to do with the parent post? Please enlighten me.

It's a monologue from The Office which uses similarly extremely short sentence structure as seen in the GGP comment.

It's also possible GP is referencing GGPs arguably paranoid position on phones, relating it to similar paranoias held by Dwight (the character who delivers the monologue).

But your essay isn't funny. Fortunately, as they say, practice makes perfect!

>maybe spend more time writing your own copy eh, I think people find popular culture references funny because they are already familiar with them
