US Olympic Team Dominates Office Conversation



In an unrelenting display of depth, the US Olympic team smashed all opposing topics of discussion last week. Despite a firm grip on the 2008 Schmidt Collins Lawrence Accounting conversation competition, the presidential election, Heroes season 2 anticipation, and rising fuel costs were no match for Beijing’s athletics juggernaut.

“They were just unbeatable” said Susan Thomas, a Schmidt Collins Lawrence Accounting CPA and formidable link in the firm’s gossip chain. “They took down everyone who stood in their way, from John Edward’s affair to the lack of fresh coffee in the break room. It’s just terrible.”

Though the US Olympic Team has its share of doubters, several members of the firm find Team US’s dominance a breath of fresh air in the battle of leisure-time communication. Schmidt Collins Lawrence Accounting office manager Trevor Appleton welcomes the changing of the guard,
“Thank god, for Usain Bolt is all I have to say. Seriously, if I have to hear one more thing about Traci [Cooper] adopting an African baby, I’m going to shoot myself. Okay, we get it. Traci you adopted an African baby. Do we really need to talk about this every time I go into the break room?”

Good or bad, it would appear the US Olympic team has asserted itself as the conversation to beat, and has welcomed any and all challengers. Team USA’s seemingly unchallenged winning streak is expected to continue until the season premier of American Idol.
