That was the subject title of a work email that went out today from our head office. I'm pretty sure that it was just sent internally to staff and sales teams, but I still thought it was funny. What they were actually talking about was that the company is now offering Free Identity Theft Protection to our clients, but it would seem that the author left out only the most important word.
Funny what a difference just one word makes...
...
On a semi-sidenote, one of our friends has unwittingly coined our new favourite term--we now fondly add the word "fuckin'" in front of anything we're even only vaguely unimpressed by. It all stemmed from a one-sided conversation we clearly overheard our friend having one day on the phone.
*answers phone*
Hello? ... Yeah? ... I'm having lunch. ... With friends. ... Where are you? ... Pick you up? When? ... Can't you get a ride? ... How did you get there? ... Do I have to? ... Fine, whatever. Bye.
*ends call*
Fuckin' mom.
All of us present gasped and had to confirm that she was referring to her own mother.
"Yeah, why?"
Hence, the birth of our new term.
"I have to work tomorrow."
"Fuckin' work."
"Mike's going to be late."
"Fuckin' Mike."
"Man, it's really hot out."
"Fuckin' heat."
The other day we were all at the beach and our friend was using her term very liberally that day, getting a hoot from all of us within earshot. However, when Malcolm called me and I tried to tell him about it, it was funny for another reason.
"Oh my god, honey, you should be here. She's 'fuckin' everyone!"
"..."
Whoops.
