In sports news, “Bob,” that really weird guy at work who doesn’t know anyone, has received new-found respect for picking 5th seed Butler to win the NCAA Tournament on his bracket. Over the past few weeks, as Butler has continued to defeat high rated teams, Bob has noticed more and more co-workers actually acknowledge him in the hallway with half-smiles, head nods, and even a few “hey Bob”’s.

“I heard he once killed someone, but regardless, it’s pretty impressive that Bob picked Butler to win it all,” said co-worker, Daniel Terrine. “I like to think I know my college basketball, but I never in a million years would have the balls to have Butler go this far on my bracket. Big kudos to Bob—even if he did kill someone.”

“He often looks at me like someone who secretly masturbates to my profile picture on the company Web site, but then again, he did pick Butler to win on his bracket,” said co-worker, Julie Larson. “My bracket is usually over by the second round, so I just can’t get over how Bob would have the insight to pick such an obscure team to go so far. Then again, I’m sure when he’s not masturbating to a picture of me, he’s probably watching college basketball.”

According to company sources, if Butler does win the NCAA Tournament, the office will consider inviting Bob out for some drinks—where they hope to meet his astonishingly hot girlfriend that no one thought he’d be capable of netting.
