Well he’s sort of telling the truth.

a very salty answer!

Mr. Potato Head

Hi, Bleeb. Things are looking up after yesterday. Dalcon is nowhere to be seen and maybe a stray chip will fall off the conveyor and provide you with a tasty snack.

Potato Chip are like car companythey are very good at making air bags.

Going over a high mountain pass in the Sierra Nevada’s, I reached over the seat to retrieve a bag of ’tater chips. Rather startled to find it very firmly inflated!

Stretching the truth is one thing, but … Glatz … well known?

…And she led him to believe she works for ‘Apple’ when in reality she works on her fathers farm picking apples.

A chip maker talking to a chippie?

He’s gonna be a keeper

Glatz = Lay’s and Utz

I would be way more impressed with the potato chip factory. There is pretty steady work there and the company store would be way tastier.

Working at a chip foundry is probably about as glamorous. Line work is line work. Just a different uniform.

I was a Media Distribution Officer for a major news corporation…

… oh okay, I was a Paper Boy. ツ

Is this the same guy who puts Easter eggs in software and cookies in my computer?

Ok. I’m calling from Microsoft and our last shipment of chips from you had multiple boxes that only had a few chips in the bottom…is that normal?

A nice way to sugar coat … or maybe BBQ flavor coat the job description.

You devil you….

Its all in the name. Like an associate at Wallmart.

So you work in China?

Crisp joke.

What about the chips used in Vegas? How are they protected from counterfeiting? Or do the chips have chips inside?

You ok there Bleeb?

Bet you can’t eat just one!
