I'm the worst in The Office. It's a problem. They've had to shut down the set for like 30 minutes because of me.
Ed HelmsIt has been said that a rolling stone gathers no moss. I would add that sometimes a rolling stone also gathers no verifiable facts or even the tiniest morsels of journalistic integrity.

So if you think about it and you look back in other movies, like if someone's taking a crazy bus ride somewhere and it's like, 'Oh, what makes this bus ride crazy?'
