((I'm doing this as an oral application, because Michael talking is far more interesting and nuanced than what he would write. Also, neither Pam nor Dwight is here to write it for him, and somehow I doubt Michael would want to fill out a form on his own!
The links in Michael's application are to Wikipedia entries on various characters and incidents in The Office. Note that after an initial blurb, the links contain spoilers for the first two seasons of the show (and there is a spoiler warning at that point - Wikipedia's good about that). So if you don't want to be spoiled, then click and read with care.))*looks around, twisting rapidly from side to side, furrowing his brow*
Oooo~kay, this is
not how Chili's looked last time we came here for the
Dundies. Bu~uut I like it. I do. Stone walls, kind of gloomy. There's definitely good comedy potential here. Comedy, jokes....
*suddenly claps his hands, leans back, and grins widely*
Okay, okay, I've got a good one. You're gonna love it, aaaa~nd it's not
at all sexually harassing, racist, or inappropriate, because Michael Scott~~~ is not
any of those things. He's just a funny guy, and - okay, wait, here it is, judge for yourself.
So, three prostitutes are standing around on a street corner in Rio. *puts hands up as if in innocent protest* Hey, prostitution i~is a job, okay? It is
not sexual harassment to talk about prostitutes, because they are
real people in the
real world, just
real girls, with real breasts - or maybe not-so-real breasts - trying to make a living...make love...make love for a living.... Now, if I called your
mother a whore,
that might be sexual harassment...unless your mother really
is a whore, because then it would be
true...and the tru~uth...makes you free.
*pause*
Except not your mother. Because she charges money for it.
*long, awkward silence; Michael looks around, nodding slightly, waiting for a reaction*
Righty right. Righto. So...I'll just do this applicaton while I wait for the others to arrive, because I'm a leader, and leader~~s do things first...unless their secretaries are there to do those things for them, because tha~at's...what secretaries do. Except
Pam is my re
ceptionist, which means...pretty much the same thing...except that she gets paid less for it.
*awkward silence*
