If * worked at The Gap as described by Chris Rock
We have a new security guard who looks so much like Chris Rock that I was looking for hidden cameras or Ashton Kutcher the first day he worked here. Goatie, kind of thin, the whole package. Now I have trouble looking at the guy because I just think the whole idea is funny. You know like what if it really is Chris Rock and he is going to base his next HBO special on us.

On top of that, I still find myself thinking back to his bit from the Oscars. Here it is:

When Bush got into office he had a surplus of money. Now there’s like a $70 trillion dollar deficit. Now, just imagine you worked at the Gap. (laughter)

You’re closing out your register, and there’s $70 trillion dollars short. (laughter)

The average person would get in trouble for something like that, right? Not Bush, no. (laughter, applause)

“He started a war, that’s cool, support the troops, he started a war. Now just imagine you worked at the Gap. (laughter)

You’re $70 trillion behind on your register, and then you start a war with the Banana Republic… ‘cause you say they got toxic tank-tops over there.

You have the war. People are dying. A thousand Gap employees dead, that’s right, bleeding all over the khakis.

You finally take over Banana Republic and find out, they never made tank-tops in the first place.

1. Finally, someone speaking in a language . . .
. . . most people can understand.

2. Picking a nit, here. Although I do think it's funny, and thought so when
I saw/heard it originally, he shoulda used another company in his analogy, because Gap and Banana Republic are the same company.
