Part 2

Right, here's the second part  of those things I was taking a swing at:

2) "You don't have to be crazy to work here..."

   A close (and just as idiotic) relative to the "Are we having fun yet?" mouth-breathers is the guy in every workplace who gives this invaluable piece of info: "You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps!" I always like to ask for an example, find out exactly who it is that's crazy, and which particular affliction they suffer from. Here's a typical interaction:
DAN: "So your the new guy? Well, lemme tell ya, You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps!"
ME:"Really? Explain, please. Are you one of those who finds it beneficial to function with damaged cognitive faculties?"
DAN:"Huh?"
ME: "Are you crazy, Dan? And if not you, who?"
DAN: "Umm... Oh! There's Bob! He's always saying something crazy! Hey, Bob! Come and meet the new guy!"
BOB: "Hey. Howzit goin'? What can I do ya for?"
DAN: (chuckling) "Bob, say one of those crazy things you're always saying..."
BOB: "Well,  you don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps!"
DAN: (laughing uncontrollably) "Classic Bob!"
ME: "Hmm. Lemme see... 23 years ago, I cut my wife's head off with an electric carving knife, and I'm still using her skull as a cereal bowl. Do I qualify?"


Odd. No one ever wants to go for drinks with me after work. Go figure, huh?


Until next time, as always, be safe,
