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.

A colleague/work buddy recently pulled a chair away just as I was sitting down. I fell on the floor. He laughed. I asked him to write down a number. He did. Then he asked what it was for. It told him it was for the AA (which for all you johnny foreigner types stands for Automobile Association) and that he would be needing them later. It was just a jokey way of implying I was going to smash his windscreen, cut his brake cables or slash his tires as payback for his three stooges style prank (which I have to admit is a classic). Harmless humerous hyperbole!

He then mumbled something about there being no need to threaten physical violence. Not quite getting what he meant I asked him to clarify. He said that threatening him with a trip to accident & emergency was a bit much. I quietly pointed out that emergency is spelled with an e.

Not quite the tale of the guy conned into buying the eiffel tower but it put a smile on my face.

And before the pedants worm their way out of the woodwork I know this post is probably full of spelling mistakes but I am typing it on a 3.2 inch resistive touch screen without a stylus whilst scotrail do their best to shake my fillings loose so get wrapped right fucking round yourselves.
