lab humour

Student employee, as patron walks up to the desk: Hello, how may I help you?
Patron: By putting me out of my misery by putting a hole in my head. [insert bitching about finals week stress]
Employee: Would you like to be put on the waiting list?

Well, it was funny to me. See, during the middle of the day, from about 9:00 am til 3:00 pm, we are commonly constantly on a waiting list for the computers. So anyone who comes in at that time of day (and this particular patron is a frequent user of this lab, thus familiar with it) is likely to hear "Do you want to get on the waiting list?" when they request a computer.

I guess you have to work here.

fortunes

According to the fortune cookie poll, it seems that I am the only person who ever learned "...with fish" as a completionary phrase. (darkmoon! I would have thought you of all people would use "fish" in this context! I'm ever so disappointed! *giggle*)

darkcactus: The idea is that when you read the fortune in the fortune cookie, you tack on a couple of extra words to the end of it, and this makes it funny or sometimes just bizarre. For example, "You will experience success in all things ... in bed."

I'm growing pretty fond of the answers of "...with an AK-47" and "...prison-style", actually.

i am in common...

Taken from darkmoon.

1. Copy this whole list into your journal.
2. Bold the things that you have in common with me.
3. Whatever you don't bold, replace with things about you. (Like darkmoon, I decided to try to make my replacements touch on the same issue/issues when I could)

01. I consider my unnatural hair colour to be my "natural" hair colour.
02. I have bits of mixed nuts stuck in my teeth at the moment.
03. I tend to remember the dumbest things - like TV epsiodes and such.

mmm, juniper; mmm, dirt/straw

Note to any interested parties: the Magellan gin mentioned some time ago by fenwickrysen is, in fact, actually blue (and apparently not from artificial colouring, either).

edit: Silly me for thinking $35 for 12-year-old Tullamore Dew was a bit of a luxury. They also sell a Bushmills 21-year-old (so.. this whiskey can drink itself then?) for $114.99.
