Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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

Also, he's suing Canon for, like, a quajillion dollars.

Yeah. And if you google that particular case, you won't find anything because the judge instituted a gag-order at the request of Big Laser.

Someone at work has been taking his email forwards, printing them out, and posting them on the bulletin board in the coffee room.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I had a boss who did that.

Um.... ironically?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Billy Graham's daughter explained that Katrina happened because we kicked God out of our lives, so he went and didn't protect us.

That's just a small step from Fred Phelps logic.

Dear Person who has clearly never used office equipment before:

If you are at the fax machine, and you hear someone answer on the other end. You are trying to fax to a phone. Try calling that number to get the actual fax number instead of attempting to fax to the phone multiple times.

No love,
Chick who's going deaf from the repeated BEEEEEPS in her ear every time she answers the phone.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Chick who's going deaf from the repeated BEEEEEPS in her ear every time she answers the phone.

I have had many people attempt to fax my head.

It's not really snopesy stuff, it's "humorous" forwards. Last week he posted LOLcats.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

That's just a small step from Fred Phelps logic.

It wasn't even entirely true. It was a mish-mash of three different stories, like those kinds of things usually are.

Still, I almost wanted to say, "I thought you liked me. Why are you sending me this?"

Our wings are not tired

That's just a small step from Fred Phelps logic.

Phelps is a useless waste of humanity.

Um, sorry about that, it's a pavlovian reaction to his name.
