Put It On The Board

At work, my cube colleague and I keep a quote board of the various silly shit we and others have said around the office over the years.  Whenever we overhear a fresh one roll off a coworkers tongue one of us will inevitably say, "Put it on the board."  A personal favorite came from one of our direct senior executives on a conference call a few years ago.  Rather than saying that our team was working really hard to another senior executive on the call, our boss' boss said "We're all humping really hard around here."  How the call didn't break into 8 year old school yard giggles is beyond me.  Because we're adults you say? Nah.  Since we couldn't announce "put it on the board", my colleague and I both texted one another to be sure we noted the new addition.

Sadly, though not surprising, I own quite a bit of real estate on the board. I take pride in it I suppose.  Means I say silly shit but shit funny enough to be remembered. Here's a good example.  One of my coworkers was whining about their new laptop and how they couldn't get used to the finger scrolling feature. Confused as to why finger scrolling would be such a challenge I simply stated, "I own a Mac. I'm used to dual-fingering."  Yeah. We could go all sorts of fun places with that one but needless to say it made the board hall of fame.

Due to last night, I now need a board for my apartment.  While discussing COVID and the general insanity of it all, My Special Man Friend ("MSMF") pauses from washing dishes for a minute and blurts out, "Uneducated people are fucking stupid."

Once we were both able to catch our breath from laughing so hard I was able to choke out, "Put it on the board!"  Yes lover, uneducated people are fucking stupid.
