Housemate has lent her sister her car for the day, the trade off being her sister will watch her toddler that night while we go rpg. Sister is a couple of hours late with no word or warning, and departure (and subsequent gaming) is naturally delayed. Housemate: She has no sense of time. Me: You'd think the sun going down might be some sort of clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was getting irritated because I kept adding an "s" at the end of "Meijer." And yes, I was doing it just to irritate her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I wandered through class today, I saw that one of my students had a notebook that was labeled "Black Mesa Research Labs". I leaned down to him and said, "I worked at that lab once. They promised me cake. It was a lie!" He and several students around him laughed out loud. My day is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfergus Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. No; a sound is something you hear.

Besides, it's the speed of sound, not the speed of noise. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time I wasn't feeling well, but was recovering: "I'm still not myself today, but I'm getting close enough to see me from here." Another, when I came in to work with the beginnings of a cold: "I woke up a little hoarse this morning, but he rolled over and went back to sleep."

Klytus Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. A number of my co-workers are looking out the windows into the parking lot. It seems that one of our (now former) employees was being arrested, and putting up one hell of a fight as they're trying to get her into the squad car. Co-Worker 1: Any idea who that is? Co-Worker 2: I think it was (Ms. Well-Known-Not-Liked-Lady)* Co-Worker 1: Damn! I didn't know being a bitch was a crime..." * It turned out to have been Some-Other-Lady instead.

Drhoz Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. my brother's boss went to the rifle range with him a weekend or two back. Apparently he wanted to go a little gangster with a Desert Eagle, and fired the thing one-handed. Result : The recoil was enough that he punched himself in the face. And left a neat little "A" on his forehead from the mechanisms on top of the barrel. says Ian : I spent the rest of the week going 'Ayyyyyyyy' or 'Gimme an A!' whenever I saw him. I was going to start calling him Captain America but I thought he might get annoyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
