The 99.9% Girl
Went to Dogwood Cafe in Jamaica Plain tonight.

We had the best time.

Our waitress Elizabeth was sooo cool.

She had on a New Kids On the Block Button with a picture of Joey McIntyre on it. Turns out that she went to school with Joey. He's from Jamaica Plain.

Back when she was in High School, Elizabeth was interviewed by Billy Costa for Evening Magazine about Joey.

She said, "I think about Joey 99.9% of the day." After she said that, she told Billy not to air that quote on the TV show. He aired it anyway!

After that she was known as the 99.9% girl.

Elizabeth told me that she had the Joey McIntyre button on her apron to add some flair.

I told her that I knew what she was talking about: Office Space.

She laughed. She told us that she owns the DVD.

I suggested Boondock Saints to her and she already owns that too!

I told Elizabeth that I had Office Space on tape for my wife to watch and she wanted to come home with us to watch it.

Too bad she had to work late.
