As a CUNY student, you’d be amazed how many forms I’ve accidentally filled out with an email address at cunt.edu.

The boss offered him an opportunity to pay for the priviledge of publicly downing a weiner.

One wonders what majors are offered at that institution. And what the frat parties are like.

So anyway, this woman at work told me that many years ago, she caught an accounting error that saved the company veritable shit-tons of money, for which she was awarded some shitty “Way To Go!” lapel pin. That kinda sucked.

I just received a small outdoor blanket that folds into a bag at our company for our 100 year anniversary gift. It’s nice and all, but a blanket? really? It’s more of a sitting pad than a blanket, honestly.

It’s the _company’s_ anniversary, not yours with the company. You’re lucky they got you any damned thing.
