I think OP was picturing a situation like this.

A Choose your own Adventure Rejection

Edit: didn’t remember strikethrough formatting correctly

I’d never really thought about until now, but do Chinese (specifically mandarin speaking) 3 year olds use Ma in place of the English speaking equivalent of “why” (repeated ad nauseum until the adult being questioned snaps!)?

Ooooohhh…it’s a scythe

It’s either Nasal or Aural, and I’m actually not sure which would least worst

Had they not escaped they may have become the First Ministroni

I actually disagree with that, if I saw a larger gentleman wearing this I’d feel proud of him for owning his thing with self-depracating humour, and think it was funny, the same as I do here.

It’s Latin for “a person not welcome”

Thank you for sharing this. I’m going to try it out on my Italian friends :)

“Tell HR I want them to know it was me”

Yes, particularly as I get older the equipment doesn’t drain fully and needs a little help.

There’s a rhyme about it “no matter how much you shake and dance, the last few drops go down your pants”, well I choose to wipe instead of relying on the absorbance of my pants or trousers (the original saying is American so means trousers really).

At the end of the article, which is already a litany of clownish buffoonery, it states that after destroying (effectively) the MRI machine in order to retrieve the rifle, he failed to retrieve a loaded magazine. So it was just left on the floor as they left.

Edit: autocorrect had changed it to clownfish

Unfortunately masks are most effective when the person with COVID wears them, rather than people who are trying to avoid COVID, but human nature is such that people with COVID (ones who go out in public) are often ones least worried about it so least likely to wear a mask in the first place.

I had a similar experience where I went to a conference and masked up religiously around groups only to catch it anyway while my colleagues didn’t mask and didn’t catch it.

Sometimes you can do everything right and still fail (paraphrasing Picard).

If he were my boss I’d ignore him during work hours too, tbh.

I agree, the job of politicians is to reframe Trans rights as policies that benefit everyone. If everyone at a negotiation feels like they are winning you have a successful negotiation. Who cares if the new policy disproportionately benefits one group, we are all better off because of it, and in the case of Trans rights give them the same (non-codified) protections as everyone else.

(This is if course ignoring the oft used tactic of the far right which is to do the opposite and reframe beneficial policies (eh. ACA) as something that only benefits one group by calling it a funny name (eg. Obamacare), so it’s easier said than done, but that is what the democrats should be doing more of, imho)

Gedit

You forgot KN#CKERS

First visit to the vet plays out like an Abbot and Costello sketch!

45 and 47

I live in Luxembourg and I have the same question!

I suspect it is trains going outside of the country but it’s funny to see nonetheless. I think most trains originate from Luxembourg (when travelling to other countries over anything that would be considered a long distance which I suspect gives them a scheduling advantage).
