My new plan for incorporating profanity into inter-office emails
I'm going to start using the spelling "fukc" in an effort to camouflage my use of that famous expletive.

Think anyone will catch on? Fukc no!


Try it, and let me know how it works out for you.

2. I used 'frack' the other day out loud at work
then I covered my mouth as if I'd just sworn.

3. Why don't you incorporate this...
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

:evilgrin:

5. That reminds me of an idea I tried out to get more hits for our office web site.
Given how popular sex is on the internet, I thought I could tap into that energy to generate more hits. So I added some innocuous descriptions to the header with some "accidental" typos that just happened to words frequently used to search for porn. I left it up for a week and then lost my nerve and changed it back. I have no idea if it generated more hits. :evilgrin:

6. nice. I've been trying to use the phrase "new direction" as my addition to officespeak
say it out loud to get it.

"I think we need to look at a new direction now."

7. LOL!
That's so much more subtle than my current catch-phrase, "throbbing boner."

9. Yes indeed
It also has a subtlety that my own use of "ponderous tomb essence" really seems to lack.

16. Yours would work if you're an archaeologist or a mortician
(Although in the latter case, it could lead to confusion at the funeral home.)

11. Similarly
One can refer to a "mucking firacle" without ruffling too many feathers, I find.
