The Curious Case of Benjamin Boring

Forrest Gump and Big Fish mined similar territory more effectively. The best part is the clock story at the beginning.

"Nothing. Just wondering when you'll be free. I thought we could go masturbate on diving boards at our country club."
"Diego, I'm busy right now. Can you… Hold on."

[disconnect tone]
"Shit."

"Thanks a lot, Diego. I was just about the settle the mystery of paraplegic bottoming when you… Go kill yourself!"

[click]

Sorry about that.

Where was I?

Right. Milk.

Josh was an extra and claims to be the cameraman in the dog poop scene at Full House park.

The cameraman kinda looks like

Goddammit!

"WHAT NOW, DIEGO?"

"I'm guessing that isn't your brother!" [audience laughter]

"Oh. Heh. May I ask who's calling?"
"Latika?"
