Bing Crosby was known for deliberately singing four-letter words when he messed up a take while recording, so that the record producer would have to destroy the tapes instead of keeping them for blooper records. Apparently, his language was truly filthy.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

What, ridiculously romanticized and inaccurate stereotypes of the home country? Say it aint so! (Signed, "Celtic," as in the basketball team, pronounced SELL-tick, and used as a noun.)
Ha! I'm in the 4th generation of an Irish immigrant family, which is just close enough to the Mother Country to still have green eyes and be rightfully terrified of the cuisine.
People who say "How's it hanging?" as a greeting.
I only do that with old buddies of the regular and fuck- varieties.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ah, baseball, the game of tradition. So nice to see it's stayed true to its roots.

Let's say that at your company, some employees get PTO (paid time off). If those employees had the option of donating their PTO to other employees (even those who normally are not eligible for PTO) how often you you suppose people would do this?
(Just a little survey to see if our client is insane....)

I don't think it would happen very much, but I think it would happen if someone has some difficult situation (illness, family turmoil, death in the family, that sort of thing) and runs out of PTO.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I wouldn't donate my own PTO, but I would happily accept gifts of such from others.
ION, I am in love with today's Dinosaur Comics and wish to have its babies.

In cases where the person who gets the PTO is dealing with a severe illness or the illness of a child, companies have seen a pretty significant amount of time donations.

Oh, that makes sense.
I was just afraid this would be one of those features that we spend a bunch of time developing and then the client never really uses it. (Not that it really matters to us, as we bill by the hour anyway.)
