I have a copy of the Onion in my trashFollow

As I look into the wastepaper basket next to my desk at work, I see two things:
(A) A copy of the Jan 4, 2007 Onion
(B) A 3/4s full cup of coffee, carefully placed at the bottom.

Apparently, everyone at the Onion office had the day off, because the paper is subtitled "Six Years of George Bush" of re-run articles. But, more curiously, someone had carefully gone through the paper and highlighted sections of the stories. Then they threw it away. And not just the George Bush articles are highlighted -- they highlighted a "News in Brief" story about a woman who played Judas Priest's "Love Zone" at her wedding, thinking it was a Christian love ballad.

So, between last night and this morning, someone came to my office, sat down at my desk, enjoyed 25% of a cup of coffee, highlighted up a two week old Onion and then threw them both away.

Smiley: dubious

Perhaps.

It's a small cleaning crew though and consists of a couple older women from Latvia or Estonia or somewhere in parts east. Not the sort you usually associate with chilling with the Onion. Or taking notes on it.

You should install a webcam so you can monitor what happens when you are gone. Did they pee on your keyboard?

No. There's a **** in the shavings bucket of my electric pencil sharpener, but, thinking back, that was me.

Some cleaning crew that leaves trash in the trashcan. Way to cover their own ***, eh?

I'm more curious about a cleaning crew that leaves a nearly full cup of coffee sitting in my trash can. Nothing like pulling out a garbage bag and having a river of three day old coffee pour out of the corner, onto the floor.

Do you habitually poke holes in your garbage bag or something? Last I checked, those things were water proof.

We use an exceptionally low grade trash bag. I think they're made of fairy breath and will-o-wisp light, held together by the dreams of unicorns.

After giving this murder-mystery much thought, I think I found the answer:

You're sleep-walking.

Yep, you get up, sneak out of your bedroom while Flea snores heavily (or not), walk to your car in your Polish-flag covered jimjams, drive to your office, highlight some passages from the Onion for some upcoming debate with gbaji, have some coffee but stop since you dreamily realise it'll wake you up from your sleepwalk, put it all in the trash so as to cover your steps, and then sneak back into bed.

What do i win?

It reminds me of a joke:

There are two guys talking.

The first one says: "You know, the day I met you, I thought you were a cUnt. And every time we've met since I thought you were a cUnt. And it can't just be me, because everyone who's ever met you thinks you are a cUnt, and probably everyone who will ever meet you will think you're a cUnt. In fact, you've got to be the second-biggest cUnt in the world."


The second guy thinks about this for a while. "So the day you met me you thought I was a cUnt?"
"Yep."
"And every day since you?ve thought I was a cUnt"
"Right."
"And everyone I've ever met thinks I'm a cUnt?"
"You got it."
"And everyone I will ever meet will think I'm a cUnt?"
"Uh-huh."
"So how comes," he says, triumphantly, "I'm only the second biggest cUnt in the world?"
The first guy looks at him with total contempt.





"Because you're such a cUnt!"

So I take it that you are going for the worst joke of the year as well? Of course, I suppose I can't blame you considering what passes for humor on your side of the pond. Europe peaked with Benny Hill.

The Rasps are all mine.

Having said that, British humoUr is the finest in the world by a mile. Monty Pythons were the T-Ford of humoUr, world-wide. Most of the decent things that came afterwards were just a derivative from these guys.

Even today, though I appreciate you might not have had a chance to see those shows, Black Adder, Green Wing, the Office (the UK version), Little Britain (at least the 1-2 series, since the rest is just a parody of itself), are as funny as anything else I've seen.

As for Benny Hill, British people onyl watched it since it was the closest thing to Sexy Time on British TV at the time.

Well...yeah, if you want to get technical.

Take your logic, reason, and appreciation of all things funny and promptly **** off.

That's what made it good. Best part of the whole show was the Sexy Dance Party...duh. <3 the Family Guy montages w/ Stewie.

Fawlty Towers was pretty funny, too. And Are You Being Served.

OK, so aside from the UK, the rest of Eurasia are a bunch of non-humor-producing cnuts.

Either that, or humoUr doesn't translate very well.
