Hello.
My name is Joe,
And I work in a button factory.
One day, my boss said
"Joe, are you busy?"
I said
"Yeah, Kinda. I'm working on a blueprint to re-design the "Button-pushing device" on level three, since it's so outdated. You need something?"
"Oh...automatic button pushing? Won't that be expensive?"
"Actually boss, it'll cut expensives in half, with the added bonus of us not having to lay anyone off, becuase it takes four people to actally make the machine work."
"That's...that's great, Joe"
"Uh...you alright?"
"Hmm? Oh, yeah, fine, I'm just a little stressed out. My wife found out I was having an affair last night, and she left me."
"Ouch."
"Yeah...so, I was wondering if, I don't know, maybe I could come over to your house for dinner tonight, since my soon to be ex-wife is bringing her mother over to my place so she can remove all her belongings..."
"Well, I don't know boss, I mean Susan really doesn't like me invitin-"
"Invite me, or you're fired."
"See you at seven."1
Hi.
My name is Joe,
And I have to call my wife to tell her about the unexpected company.
So I pick up the phone, and when she answers I say,
"Hey honey, are you busy?"
She said
"Actually, I was just on my way to pick up Brad from little league. What's up?"
"Well...um, there may be someone else joining us for dinner tonight..."
"Oh, let me guess! Rick needs a place to crash because the police are on his tail again! Well, you tell him-"
"Uh, no honey, my boss wants to come over."
"Mr. Gisel? Well, why didn't you say so! You know he is always welcome here. I'll get started on dinner as soon as I get home. I know- I mean, I assume Gisel likes barbeque ribs, but why don't you ask him what he'd like. I'll see you two in a bit. Bye!"2
Hi.
My name is Joe,
And I'm growing more uncomfortable by the minute.
I walk to my boss's door, and knock queitly becuase I hear voices inside.
No answer.
So I just walk in.
Inside, I find my boss fervently masturbating to a picture of my wife, and saying "Oh we are gonna have fun tonight!"
"You son of a bitch! That's my wife!" I scream.
"Oh, uh, Joe I, uh, didn't see you come in..."
"You bastard! That's a picture of Susan! Where did you get that!?"
He shook his head slowly.
"Joe, I didn't want you to find out this way...I've been having an affair with your wife-"3
Hi.
My name is Joe,
And I'm on trial for the double homicide of my wife and boss...4

Hi, my name is NotTheDroids and I love this! It's a very clever format for putting this kind of story together - almost like a play with a number of very short scenes. Need to watch the spelling though!
beginning: 5, language: 3, plot: 4, ending: 5, dialog: 4, characters: 4.
