This is a question Stupid Colleagues

Godwin's Lawyer tells us: "I once worked with a lad who believed 'Frankenstein' was based on a true story, and that the book was written by Shirley Bassey." Tell us about your workplace dopes.

The Wanderer
Back in the wavy line time of the 70's, my dad got my best friend Bernard a job in the oildrum factory he worked at. Bernard, on a break from uni, used to bring his copy of the Times to work hidden inside a copy of the Sun, for fear of ridicule. He came round ours one night to tell my dad about one of his workmates who'd tattoed the name of his favourite football team across his knuckles with a needle and ink. Apparently he's emblazoned the legend "WOVLES" across his knuckles.

Dad didn't even look up from his paper. "You've met Nobby then" he said!

Legend!

Ah, but...
Was that the knuckles of one hand?

Spelling LOLs
Not quite as permanent, but I recall stopping at a filling station and at the pump to my left was a young chav-type with his pride and joy, a lowered Fiat Punto (blasting out choons), along the side of which was an enormous scorpion graphic accompanied by foot-high letters across the lower part of the doors, spelling out the word ARBARTH.

Knob.

A kid in my class wrote “SLANEY IS A BARSTARD” in huge letters down the side of school.

Slaney, the head teacher, must have been a Monty Python fan, cos he got us all outside by staging a fire drill, and gave us a lecture on the evils of poor spelling, and the importance of checking your work if it is meant for public display.
