Before I laugh at my Co-Worker....Follow

#1 Oct 26 2007 at 10:39 AM Rating: Good
....just wanted to check with you all first.

Is it really sad/funny that my 45 year old co-worker just asked what they mean when they say the Lower 48 States?

I told him its the Continental United States, he stared at me.... then I tell him its all the states in the union minus Alaska and Hawaii.
Isn't this common knowledge?



This guy is pretty much the dumbest person I have ever met. Yesterday he made a sign that that read as follows
Quote:
$29.99 Case minus $3.00 Mail in Rebate, Final cost $21.99


He does stuff like this pretty much 2 to 3 times a day.

I don't live in the States and even I know that.

Yes, you can laugh. But not too hard.

I wouldn't even know where to start when discribing the saps that are employed at my workplace.

And yes, Sora that is rather quite unusual that he didn't understand what that meant.

Side topic: What the hell was that ad campaign where people could call in and find out if something was funny or not? I remember there was one where a boss kept calling a coworker the wrong name...

You're thinking of TBS, Nexa. In case no one else has already replied, that is.

That reminds me. I saw part of "Smarter than a Fifth Grader" the other day.

This lady was asked how many consonants are in the word "Vowel."

She spelled it "Voul."

I wanted to slap her.
