Daily floggings

A group of coworkers and I were talking and I said, "isn't it ironic". Someone brought up the song. This lady says, "the man of my dreams would not have a beautiful wife" and gets this self-satisfactory smile like she just discovered cold fusion.
I wanted to point out that is the point of the song, but it would be lost on her. Unfortunately you can't beat stupid out of people or my work would have daily floggings.

    However, the only ironic thing in that song is the title. The rest of it is just sh**ty circumstances...

    Isn't THAT ironic.

    Have you every seen the movie Passion Fish? There is one character named Precious who has no sense of humour. She gets confused whenever someone makes a witty remark. Her sister is always saying, "It's a joke, Precious."

    Now whenever I encounter one of those people, I just think to myself, "It's a joke, Precious."

    Every time I hear precious, I think of Gollum and would promptly see that person as Gollum. That would be amusing and disturbing at the same time.

    One of my coworkers asked me to come help her for a sec...

    I went to her office, she proceeded to explain to me that she needed to copy a file to a "j peg". I said, "You want to save it AS a j peg?" She said, "No, I need to save it TO a j peg". I'm standing there, staring at her, and she says "Nikki, if you don't get it, I'll ask someone else." I'm pissed at this point, so I said, "Tracy, it's not that I don't get it, you're not making sense." She then leans down, pulls out a jump drive and puts it in my face - "I NEED TO SAVE IT TO THIS'. Dumb *****. "That's called a f*ckin' jump drive".

    Have a nice day :grumble:

    Typically, when I refer to someone as precious I make a petting motion with my hands. When ever I get a stupid question (yes, they exist!) I respond, "Oh precious... don't you hurt yourself" petting their heads..

    And people that don't get sarcasm !! (in real life...I know it is hard to pick up on tone online)


    My MIL doesn't get that type of stuff either, joking and sarcasm.


    We left her to babysit last weekend and we said "Don't let her talk you into anything, like getting ice cream before dinner or taking the car out for a spin" (my daughter is 10 months old and does not talk yet and obviously does not drive)

    So I said (as the baby) "Mommy and Daddy let me have ice cream before bed every night"

    She said, Really?? I can give her ice cream??

    :noway:

    Uhhhh no. [mg]http://th266.photobucket.com/albums/ii269/theogrit/th_1sm067roll.gif[/img]
