The Office quote of the week (5/15 season finale)

Oscar: Ryan's big project was the website, which wasn't doing so well. So, Ryan, to give the impression of sales, recorded them twice. Once as office sales and once as website sales, which is what we refer to in the business as "misleading the shareholders." Another good term is "fraud." But the real crime, I think, was the beard.

I love this quote because it is like my obsession with other people's hair. For example, in talking about the FLDS and all their problems that have been in the news lately -- polygamy, marrying off teenagers to old men, sexual abuse, etc., I am totally obsessed with the badness of the women's hair. I just learned that they are not allowed to cut their hair! I got chills.

I have had the same thoughts whenever I see pictures from the compound. It's weird for me thinking that the same girl born to any other family in the US would have grown up knowing about the internet, Gossip Girl, and the wonders of a short bob haircut. Too strange!

Once again, you are 100% correct in your quote choice though that episode had many highlights. Another highlight was when Michael Scott said he wanted his mix tape to work on two levels: 1) Welcome to Scranton and 2) I love you.

As far as the FLDS, I agree. All I can focus on is the hair and the voice. Will it be inappropriate for me to dress up like one for Halloween?
