…Shit– I Broke an Acrylic Nail.

Employee #1, looking at t‑shirt designed by Daisy Fuentes with a spanish word printed on it: God, when did Daisy Fuentes become Spanish?
Employee #2: Hasn’t she always been Spanish?
Employee #1: No! She thinks she’s so cool she can just decide to be Spanish one day.
Employee #2: But her last name sounds Spanish.
Employee #1, pronouncing it wrong: Fuentes? Whatever, that isn’t Spanish. She’s so fake. God, I hate people that are fake.

Past retirement age CEO: What did he say about my hair?
Entire office: Frank hasn’t said anything about your hair!
(phone rings)
Past retirement age CEO, answering phone: Hello, Frank speaking – I mean, Graham speaking.

…And Rated on the Same Scale As Figure-Skating

Worker #1: My roommate has this book about all the kinds of poops you can have and what it means about your health.
Worker #2: Kinds of poops?
Worker #1: Yeah, like floaters, sinkers, clean poop…
Worker #2: Clean poop?!
Worker #1: The kind that slides right out and leaves your butt clean.
Worker #2: That should be called “perfect poop”.
