Heh. I see what you did there. :slight_smile:

3

I believe “rocket surgery” is being used ironically there. I hear it all the time. So “fail” on whoever posted that. Plus - that was posted this month, right after the Hubble “surgery” where every other internet article I read about it made the same joke.

“It’s not rocket surgery” is a line from some commercial or other. It’s been seen enough that it’s now something of a meme. Failblog FAIL.

5

What did the neurosurgeon say to the NASA engineer?

“Hey, it could be worse. At least we’re not car salesmen.”

:smack:

I’m an idiot. Username/OP combo. Critical damage.

7

Yup, I just noticed that right now as well. Munchfail.

8

I win the thread!

9

Don’t feel bad. I’ve participated in long threads with very good IRL friends all day before noticing I was talking to them. For some reason, usernames rarely register with me.

10

Whatever. It doesn’t take a rocket appliance to figure that one out.

11

Maybe it’s the “LOVE GOD AND OTHERS” line. Love God and other people? Love God and other deities?

12

Heh… I saw the sign, thought of INRS, then saw s/he was the OP.

I’m still an idiot, just a different type of idiot.

13

I believe it’s from Dilbert originally. Actually, I believe it’s from the old Dogbert newsletter “in-duh-viduals” reports, and then he used it in a strip. But I could be misremembering.

14

If you don’t mind a hitch-hiker, I’ve had this one saved for a couple of days.

15

I wouldn’t credit it to a commercial. It’s kind of an easy joke- I knew friends who were saying this 15 years ago and I doubt they were the first to think of it.

16

Anyway it was very nice of the church to send out such a personalized invitation!

17

Just because a humorous phrase is old doesn’t make it less funny. If that were the case, everyone I spoke to would be rolling their eyes as soon as I turned away.

18

It’s funny. I just said it shouldn’t be attributed to the commercial.

19

Yeah, but they got it from me. I made it up. Honest to God and others.

You can also credit me with “Mind like a steel sieve.”
