"So the VP is a weasel with a monogrammed tennis racket. He's got this sense of entitlement like a Siamese cat and a yap like a Schnauzer. Most of the time I want to dump a bucket of water on him. And the office manager is Eva Braun. Have you noticed that everything's animals all of a sudden? I think I should go work for a pet store. Sell kittens."

"I don't remember this dress. It would be just like her, I guess, to buy something for the occasion."
"Oh, no, she's had it for a while. She just didn't like it. Red, you know. I said 'Mother Wilson, I don't think I've seen you in this dress,' and she said, 'That thing, I don't know what I was thinking."
"So the funeral director picked it?"
"No, it was me."

I recommend these as a writing exercise, actually. If you want to try it, these are my guidelines: try to give a sense of both the speaker and the situation, in 75 words or less, using only dialogue.
These sound like people you've overheard. I like the funeral dress bit of dialogue. And the what would Jesus do bit.
Excellent pieces! What a great idea!
