Nov. 7th, 2013 02:39 pmCo-worker (describing somebody): He looks like that guy on that tv show about the Pope. You know the one?
Everybody: No, nope, uh-unh.
Co-worker: Oh come, on Sarah, you must know the show I’m talking about.
Me: Is this show about the *current* Pope or, like, a medieval one?
Co-worker: Medieval.
Me: “The Borgias?”
Co-worker: That’s it. He looks like the Pope’s son’s monster of a friend. The one with the red hair.
Me: You know, my mind doesn’t automatically go from “Pope” to “the Borgia Pope.” He was pretty much the “don’t do this” example of a pope.
