Episode 10. Sound Excited Already!

First off, that wasn’t really Morse code. I was just clicking the flashlight a lot. If I did accidentally say something in Morse code, it was probably, “wunmphrbdadada” or something like that.

And while that might be what you want at that moment, it’s not the best business strategy. I’m guessing you know someone who consistently sucks the life out of every party they get invited to.
