Well, there goes my scheme to make a little extra cash by counterfeiting money on the office copy machine.

“Curses! Foiled Again!”

Don't quotation marks imply a euphemism? This sign seems to indicate that employees need only "wash hands" if they're feeling like it, wink wink. Or "wash hands" may be code for something else at this establishment. Oh, the intrigue.

Bed, Bath, and Bring Your Own....Duvet?

One of my coworkers turned 40 today and I gave him bubble wrap. He works in what we call the cube farm. For him, and me, it turned out to be the gift that kept on giving. Maybe not so much for his coworkers.

It has recently come to my attention that farting is an acceptable aberrant practice in yoga class. But really, woman next to me, before the class even starts?

I remember many a product endorsement from my youth. "Momma's got the magic of Clorox 2." "Raise your hand if you're Sure!" "Please, don't squeeze the Charmin." "I am stuck on Band Aid brand cos Band Aid's stuck on me." Grammatically bad in some cases, ""Kids love Kix for what Kix has got. Moms love Kix for what Kix has not." But most of the commercials I remember from back then were fun and campy, laughable and sing-along-able.

I weep for today's youth. Where are the fond remembrances from commercials for Viagra, ED, prevention of pneumococcal pneumonia, and ads for medications of every kind, along with their litany of potential side effects?
