I try to listen to NPR shows while I work. Sometimes I can't hear a single word over the chatter of my coworkers... especially one who, when he's in a good mood, is singing and telling jokes constantly all day...
(names changed to protect the guilty)

Lisa: You have a DATS bill? (DATS is a trucking company).
Darius: I got a dis bill.
Lisa: Funny.
Darius: That's a real knee slapper, that is.

Darius: So what do I do with this? (waves a piece of paper).
Rita: Throw it in the trash.
Darius: (singing loudly) i'M GONNA THROW IT IN THE TRASH!
Rita: He's in rare form today.

Rita: Darius, can I get a rate from you?
Darius: You can get whatever you want, but it's not coming from me.
Rita: It's coming from you.
Darius: IT'S COMING FROM YOU, PLAYA! SIT YOUR ASS DOWN AND DO WHAT I TELL YOU!
Rita: Do you talk out loud like that when you're home alone? It's like you've got tourette's.
Darius: Tourettes? I got THREE rettes!

Darius: (Eyeing a 'get well' card). What's this? Who's card is this?
Rita: It's for Bill.
Darius: What's wrong with him?
Rita: He has to work with you every day.
Lisa: Pow! Right in the kisser!

I downloaded from Amazon today The Ride and King of the Night by The East Village Opera Company. Highly reccomended for any fan of Queen. ^_^

These are not the full songs unfortunately, but check them out:

Here's a complete song by them (might be off an earlier cd):
