My girfriend left me
the same night I went to a gig to get smashed and forget her. Guess what?... she was there. Straddling some guy. I thought "what would jesus do?" and so I broke his nose and went to the local pub. next day rumours are flying and one of which involve me getting hunted down and stabbed. I saw a friend of mine a couple of days after and she wept with joy because I had'nt been murdered. There are also rumours flying around that I punched a load of girls, I got some names and half of these girls I alledgedly punched were'nt even there. Apparently A load of people did chase me with knives for miles down a country lane but I was in the pub at the time with a pint and a joint (they dont mind drug smoking in the beer garden), leering over a female friend of mine.
BEST STABBING EVER!

Just reading some replies to the best of posts to the previous question
and I realise I missed out on an opportunity to slag off Exeter Uni students.
Gutted.
God I hate them all, the useless Oxbridge rejects with their brand new Ford Ka's, their popped collars and their Ugg boots.
I worked at the bank on campus for a while and I heard no less than 3 of them use the exact words: "no thanks, I have daddy's gold card" when I asked if they wanted a credit card with their new student account.
and 60% come from Guildford.

Day Dreaming
Some things you should never tell people.
I'd obviously been staring at my firewall configuration for far too long as I suddenly got a crystal clear image of a bunch of ducks, in dresses, on a stage doing a really bad version of the Can-Can.
"Quack! Qua-Qua-Qua Quack! Quack" etc.
Then I told my work mates. They stared.
One lad got into the spirit of things and added in an additional goose in an ill fitting dress, standing to one side, looking slightly out of place at the back of the ducks occasionally going "HONK!!".
The others stared some more.
So there you go. Probably not much room in a QOTW on dancing ducks/geese.
(Two feet, one foot. Two geese, one goose. Two sheep, one shoop? It should be shoop, shouldn't it?)
edit. Cheers Vipros, I must stay away from sugar...

Business Card
Colleague B would like Colleague A to telephone Company 1 to enquire as to status of ordered goods that are required urgently. The telephone number is nowhere to be found. A brief search is carried out. By brief search, I mean that Colleague A says, “So where’s the fucking number, then?”. Colleague B shrugs.
A: Where’s that [business] card they give you the other day?
B: It’s [downstairs] in my overalls.
A: Well you’re a cunt then, aren’t you.

Am I the only one...?
Who is looking forward to the end of this QOTW?
It started well, with funny stories about revenge against the shits, and how karma played a part in their lives, but now it's mostly either puns, or blatant "They had more money, therefore they're a cunt" stories.
Come, oh B3ta overlords, can you please give us a new question before 5pm?

Did you know that there's a new range of alcoholic yoghurts on the market?
You can get vodka flavoured, ouzo flavoured, rum and coke, and a number of whisky varieties.
I've just had ten tonight, and I'm absolutely Mullered...

Doggy Style
A former colleague.
Many years ago his beloved dog died. A dog which had belonged to his parents previously. Colleague’s father and mother had passed away and he took care of the beloved family pet which came to be a link to a different life that had long disappeared with the death of his parents. But every dog has its day and this one went on to join his former owners, wherever they now were.
With colleague being too upset to bury the dog himself a neighbour offered to carry out the morbid task. While said colleague was at work one day, aforementioned neighbour buried the dog in said colleague's garden. These were profoundly distressing days and it was a noble gesture by the neighbour, an act of understanding, of something deeper than friendship.
Years passed by and Colleague found cause to dig in his garden for some fabulous new gardening experience. Whilst digging down low his spade unearthed the remains of a cardboard box. Clearly cardboard is not a material that would take too kindly to being submerged in damp earth and to a greater extent the box had disintegrated.
Without any doubt It was the box in which his dog was buried. But something was not quite right. As he related the whole sorry tale to us at work the next morning, the simmering resentment of Colleague was quite apparent. All became clear with the final of the big man's story:
"The silly cunt had only put him in a plastic bag before he buried him".

Crashing out on the sofa for a bit.
So, I'm going to crash out on the sofa for a bit. For those that don't know, crashing out on the sofa for a bit is where instead of sleeping in a bed (bedphasic) you crash out on the sofa for a bit. (sofaphasic).
Wish me luck! :)

A question!
Does anyone know the exact time that Mankind appeared on the Earth's geological clock?
I know it's supposed to be sometime near midnight, but I wondered if anyone had a more exact time.

Polyphasic sleep.
So, I'm starting a polyphasic sleep schedule tonight. For those that don't know Polyphasic sleep is where instead of sleeping once a night (biphasic) you take 6 x 30 minute naps throughout the day. (2, 6, 10 am/pm).
Wish me luck! :)
