and the nominees for the "Dolt Merit Award" are...
Theo* for his ingenious "wha..?!" remarks -
Bossman: You came to work straight from church, didn't you?
Me: Yes.
Theo: And she was wearing a skirt, and a blouse! No coat! No hat! It's cold out!
Me: I get over it. It was sunny when I left the house.
Theo: I couldn't wear that when it's cold like today.
Bossman: *snicker* I wouldn't let you come to work like that, either.
Me: Ha! We wouldn't know you.
Theo: Huh?
Bossman: Dressed in a outfit like she's wearing.
Theo: Huh?
Paul Smith's* impression of the "daring young man on the flying trapeze," er, rigging -
As I was lowering the City flag, it got caught on the shrouds, part of the ship's rigging. Paul muttered an expletive, and climbed up on the shroud to retrieve the flag. Jerry, a coworker, happened to catch my eye, and nudged me, saying,
"You know you'd lose your job if he'd fell."
"Oh, come on, I really can't give him a little shove? Pwetty pweese?"
Paul finally got the flag untangled, and jumped back on deck. (PS can be an aggravating and pushy volunteer. Few people can tolerate him. He's known for his erm... temper.)
Yours Truly's mind-blowing airheadedness -
I made a cake today, followed all the directions - added eggs and butter to the mix, the scraped the batter into the greased pans, noting the batter's unusual fluffiness and thickness. Turns out I had skipped over the minor part of adding water to the mixture.
* names have been changed to protect the guilty idiotic.
So mirror on the wall, who's the densest of them all?
