    Heard about a guy at another paper who got tired of people calling and asking for stupid shit. Finally he started asking, "are you a subscriber?" If they said no, he would come back with, "then go buy a fucking paper!" and slam the phone down in their ear.

    I like to just say, "It'll be in the paper tomorrow."

    How the hell do you not get called back into the office? That's what I want to know. There's always a million things to do on a Friday night.

    And how exactly does one end up at the wrong school for a football game? If your paper is doing previews, looking at message boards, paying attention to other media, having contact with the school on a regular basis...I just can't see this happening.

    I nearly got the unexpected Friday night off last week, but a couple weeks ago, the boss needed to tweak the schedule to accommodate someone else. So I worked Friday night just the same.

    With the day off, I would have followed the fiancee to whatever Friday night game she covered that night and just taken in a live football game as a fan, for once.
