You take the medication *for *high blood pressure, not *against *high blood pressure.
I officially retract all mockery of you. I guess I just didn’t want to believe that it was *physically possible *for someone to be that obtuse and still hold down a job.
“Nineteen sixty one? Did I say nineteen sixty one? I was born in sixty one just like I said. And let me tell you, back when we had a man like Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus running things, we didn’t have to put up with nonsense like this!”
Exactly. Why just the other day a co-worker asked me if I could make a donation. I asked what the cause was and she told me they were collecting money for cancer. So I didn’t give her any money because I’m against cancer.
Had someone recently ask “What’s the difference between the Cinnamon Sugar and the Vanilla Sugar?”
Me and my husband had this conversation with a sales clerk, condensed but accurate.
Me: Ooooh look at that princess-y lamp. We should get that for our daughter’s birthday.
Hubby to sales clerk: Could you get that lamp for us? It’s our daughter’s birthday tomorrow.
Me, spying a frageelie lamp*: Look at that one, we should get it for our son.
Hubby to sales clerk: And that lamp too. We have twins-- a boy and girl.
Sales clerk: Oh really? Were they born on the same day?
No, I didn’t get a chance to tell the story of the month long labor I went through. Hubby saw the look on my face and stepped in front of me with 'Yes. Yes, they were."
*A frageelie lamp is a lamp with a fishnet stocking leg made in Italy.
One of them has nutmeg in it. But I forget which one.
Well, don’t leave us hanging what is the difference?
One is a sugar the other is a flavor.
Hey, how do I post a reply to this thread?
I once asked a classmate who was older, him or his twin brother. He gave me a look that said “Ha ha, very funny, asshole.” No, really, which one is older, and by how many minutes?
I have no idea why that information was important to me.
But does he play well with others? 
But… isn’t that why they call it “holding down a job”?
Hey, I work in a call center, too, and I’m also in Idaho! Who knows, maybe we even work for the same employer! (I know Boise has several call centers, though). I work in a travel reservations agency.
I occasionally get people who are pleased to hear an unaccented voice and know that they are calling a U.S.-based call center. Still, we have some workers with foreign accents who undoubtedly are either assumed to be in India or they are harassed by the callers for not being “domestic”. :rolleyes:
I’ve had a few people who confuse Idaho with Iowa. “Boise? How far is that from Des Moines?” Oh, not too far, only about 1,400 miles, give or take a few.
In the clerk’s defense, the #1 combo is called “The Komodo Dragon.”
Well, they’re certainly not uplifting it, that’s for damn sure.
I’ll do you one better; a friend brought in their twins, a boy and a girl. Another friend: “Are they identical?”
And people used to wonder if my brother and I, 13.5 months apart, were twins. :rolleyes:
Please to explain?
This is how you know *she *is a real American.
Hey, they both start with an I, right? I mean, it’s almost the same thing.
I mean, you say “potato”, I say “Iowa’s the Potato State, right?”
1.) How old were the twins in question? I.e., were they young enough that they could have been mistaken for both boys or both girls?
2.) A year is not such a big gap that two siblings could not be mistaken for twins.
