Hope he can help, Consuela. That's a long time to be wobbly.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
How awful, Scrappy.
No fishing off the company pier. No dipping your pen in the company ink.
I need more modern euphemisms.
No shaking the company toner. No leeching off the company wifi. No steaming up the company cubicals. No meshing the company benefit plans. No rumpying the company pumpy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, Scrappy. That's terrible.
No leeching off the company wifi.
This one.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
This company follows a strict policy of union-busting.

Wow, how horrible Scrappy, it could have been so much worse.
Sad about Bacall. To Have and Have Not was one hell of a movie debut.

You guys, there is a person at my office who I've never spoken with, but thought was a woman. Apparently, he is a man! This is some real Pat-level shit. I thought his name was a woman's name, and he is totally androgynous, physically. People in the world! Confusing.

Our wings are not tired.
I am sure I never could have pulled off an androgynous look. Even more sure that DH couldn't manage it. There are only a few people that I have met that could do so well.

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

2014 Contest Winners » The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest
The runner-up for crime fiction might be my favorite:
Hard-boiled private eye Smith Calloway had a sinking feeling as he walked into the chaotic crime scene, for there, as expected, was the body dressed in a monk's habit; there was the stuffed cream-colored pony next to the crisp apple strudel; there was the doorbell, the set of sleigh bells, and even the schnitzel with noodles - all proclaiming that the Von Trappist Killer had struck again.
