Inside Baseball

"Oh my God, did you hear?"
"Hear what?"
"My gunner asked me out."
"What do you mean your gunner?"
"From our fantasy draft."
"In your elective?"
"Yeah. You get one point every time they talk, with bonus points if they bring in outside information, the professor cuts them off, stuff like that."
"Awesome."
"Not awesome! He can't ask me out! He's my gunner!"
"I meant about the league. But doesn't this raise some conflicts of interest?"
"Well obviously I can't go out with him."
"If you could say, 'You always say such insightful things in class' to make him talk more, that would ruin the league."
"Exactly."
"Plus, he's your gunner."
"I feel like I should get bonus points though."
"Because he's a gunner outside the classroom too?"
"Yeah. It carries over to the rest of his life."
"How'd he ask you out?"
"E-mail."
"Definitely bonus points."

Hilarious. the asking out by email is probably my favorite part. So true.

My opinion has always been that it's better to be lonely than to be a guy who asks girls out over email.

Actually, one's probably gonna be lonely either way on that one.
