Ninja Stealth Fail.

Guy walking down the street with a full motorcycle helmet, no bike anywhere in sight.

Helmet says "Ninja" so maybe that's ok...

Speaker phone

Kind of annoying when you're in a cube-farm and some yahoo insists on using speaker phone rather than getting a headset. Kind of funny though when it's a recorded message that is broadcast into the shared space: "...because you are a preferred customer press 1 now to claim your special gift! To claim your free travel voucher please press 1 now! You've won a surprise gift, press 1 now to claim your prize!..."

I piped up "Just press 1 already!"
Someone else added "I think they want you to press 1..."
"Press 5 and really mess them up!" added another guy.

The falconer

AP: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13407712

PL: CRAZY.
AP: I bet he’s a falconer.
PL: Probably, he's got the pants to do it.
AP: I wish I was a falconer.
PL: Step 1. Get a falcon
      Step 2. ?????
      Step 3. Get chicks & profit!
AP: I’ll work on number 1 first. I think there was a falcon flying around here recently..or maybe it was a pigeon – I’m no scientician.

Perfect Word

Yesterday I took a call from some lady who wanted to make a hyperlink in Word Perfect. I was like "offhand in Word it's Ctrl+K but in Word Perfect I'll have to check the help. I'll press F1 and type in "hyperlink" and oh, here you go..."

Because, if it happens on or around the internet, it's my problem.

Happy Birthday!

A colleague's cell ring tone is Happy Birthday.

... being right 1 out of 365 days a year is not bad odds!

There's a service that runs to automate sending emails to the public. The fact that it's called pubemailbot makes me laugh.

Get it?
pub-email-bot vs. pube-mail-bot

Ugh, there are probably worse thing a robot could send you. But I can't think of any.

Some days I have the humour of an 11 year old boy.
