"we are all going to die anyway"

This site is dedicated to Raymond, my one and only co-worker here at the UCLA Anderson School of Business. I got this job after Angie left it, and I had heard so much about Raymond that I was intrigued. Little did I know that all Angie said about him was true and by God, he makes working here extremely fun. Raymond says the most random, funny stuff, so I figured he needs to be shared with the world. Enjoy!

Raymond: Maybe K-Pax wasn't that bad of a movie. Maybe I'm just giving it a bad name.
Me: No, I thought it didn't do well when it came out.
Raymond: Look it up and see.
(I look up reviews on K-Pax)
Me: Hm. It's not bad.

Me: No...that's ok.
Raymond: There's a scene with puppies. You'll like that part.
