1. Hilarious.
BTW, the woman reading the story (Teresa Strasser) is the co-host of the Adam Carolla show in case anyone was wondering.

5. Makes me glad I don't do the Facebook thang...
Seems to be the cause of more trouble anymore...
It's almost being inadvertantly telepathic and you get BOMBARDED with info-bits and images that you really didn't want to know or see...:hide::yoiks:
Teh brain bleach and teh goggles- THEY...DO...NOTHING! :banghead:

7. It's not only the British who use 'shit' as an adjective
Edited on Sat Aug-15-09 03:55 PM by WhoIsNumberNone
It would be a totally British to use 'shite'- Only they seem to do that, but plenty of us here in the Mid-Atlantic use 'shit' as an adjective. Now, 'pervy wanker'... that's pretty British.

12. I'm sorry but she was just plain irresponsible.
Unintentionally for sure, but utterly stupid as well. I'm not saying it was right to fire her, but she certainly has shit for brains.

13. I've got a better story... well, as good
This dude Bill owns a consulting firm, and does a lot of work with a major government agency. Recently the agency sent out a request for proposals. Bill's company submitted a proposal.

A few days later he got an e-mail from a dude at the agency. The text of the e-mail was something like "God, who does this Bill dude think he is? I swear the guy doesn't know shit about what we do here. He's so dumb he'd be the kind of guy who falls off a bridge and drowns."

A week later and there's one government dude out of a job. :D

Note to self: If you're going to send out an e-mail bagging on someone, DO NOT cc them. :D
