We all know that Double Negatives are not good, but how about a triple?

"That don't make no difference to no one."

That was the Accounts Payable lady here at work. I think one time she blurted out a Quad..... I gave her a standing ovation.

My favorite came when an employee once told me her husband quit drinking and turned his life around, "He did a complete 360" she exclaimed. He went back to the sauce... so he really did do a 360 I guess.


Another Columbian friend of of mine used to always mess up sayings.

I work in a manuf. plant..... well.. i just count the beans and they make the beans..... but... jesus..it is awfull the way these people look and live.... They work hard and are decent folks, but they are mostly total rednecks (backing into the parking spots, snuff, FORD, etc...--ahahahha).... One can say the F word 5+ times in one sentence.. in front of a female auditor... smarts!!!

Most people have enough sense to not get "lit" at a company X-mas party... not these guys... that is their one chance per year to drink for free.

Watch out Scot. "90% of the people in the world are morons, and the rest of us are in severe danger of contagion."....X Files

Try to contaminate them first. If'n y'all kin git 'em athinkin', you might just get somewhere. I went so far as to hand out a little quote last Monday to a couple people:

"There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away,
when the glow of early thought declines in dull decay."...Byron

I don't reccomend handing out poems to the guys. Try the females though. And don't call me if you get your ass kicked.
