(since editors are the last ones to deal with a story before it goes on air) "S**t rolls down hill"

(On my paycheck) "Another letter from the joke of the week club"

"I can't seem to find the focus."

"Yes he's a nut bag. Of course he's a nut bag! All the people I work with are NUT BAGS!"



In the same converstion he later added:

"It amazes me how everyone in this place complains that everyone here is insane except for them!"
