What a Click!

There's this guy in our office who's got the most annoying habit of punctuating everything he says by winking his right eye, pointing his right index finger at you, and clicking his tongue against the inside of his teeth. All at the same time.

Lately I've noticed him doing it more frequently, often resorting to his click routine in lieu of any conversation. Pass him in the hallway, get a click in return. Ask him how he's doing, get a click in return. Ask him where's that report you were expecting yesterday, get a click in return.

I always think of him when I see Amazon.com's "1 Click Ordering" button. Perhaps others do too, for we've starting calling him the Prick with the 1-Click Tick Shtik.
