I don’t remember if that was the intention behind the original post, but cow-orkers was intentional, not a typo. (Sorry, I don’t have time to search for the original right now…~whispers~ I’m supposed to be working here!)

More than once I’ve come really close to saying “I burning your dog!” _out loud_ in some situation that seems to require it.

“I burning your dog” - where is this from? Is it related to Kerpal Singh’s “I kick your dog” or “Why you kick my dog?”

Almost? Hell, once in my Business Practices class, I actually called out “Band name!”

The instructor was explaining to us how we could enhance our finances by learning several massage modalities, and said, “so if you know how to do an asbestos mango wrap…”

I just couldn’t contain myself.

And I’m going to be working for him when he opens his new spa next month.

**Sample** , if you’re joking, make sure that everyone knows it’s a joke. If you genuinely believe you’ve noticed a sockpuppet, you need to notify a Moderator by e-mail _without_ posting it publicly.
