I have a friend who is a supervisor at his office for a major US telecommunications corporation. One day a female employee, about 50 years old, approached him. "Uh, Nick?" she says. "Yes." "I just shat myself." " . . .Ok. . .?" says Nick. "What should I do?" After some thought Nick says "Why don't you go to the ladies room and clean up." "Ok." And off she went.

Haha, priceless! Tops has to be my roommate, a girl who's studying for her masters in biology. She honestly believed that Asian women have sideways vaginas, and could not be convinced otherwise by a room full of female biology students. This girl, sad to say, also studies primates... This is, in fact, why I am so happy I specialize in herpetology.
Another random anecdote was after a recent lecture exam, where the professor had to write on the board that the plural of "herp" is not "herpes". Mmm, gotta love Alabama.

Another corker from my secretarial colleague today, again along the lines of 'nit' infestation. Apparently, her friends daughter has them as well but they are "massive green things about 1cm long" so I said, "I don't think they are nits, probably just some bug from the garden" her reply? "She must have just ignored the nits until they grew really massive"

Floyd, you're making this up surely. Not even the students at my college are that thick.

It is 100% truth, we are actually thinking of writing a book. I will keep one of her next emails and copy it on here so you can see how bad it is....

I collected quotes from someone, to give them as a book for a leaving present. As soon as I find it, I'll have a few gems.
Her name isn't Theresa, is it Raych?

I remember stumbling on a this recording at the radio station I work at between one of the DJs and an interview he had with some Minister / government official here and the dude (the gov't official) went on about these "punk" and "skinhead" kids who would hang out at this one touristy part of town beating up on people. I wish I could record that interview and turn it into an mp3 file or something cause he said some really classic "textbook" things about the worst stereotypes anyone could ever come up with regardings punks and skins... I'll bootleg the interview or something just for shits and giggles..seriously

It must be because of Stephen/Steven - I wouldn't know if you're Kevin or Kephin.

New additions from the idiot secretary.
She did a stationary order for me and came into the office saying "I've ordered those dynamos for you"....say what? What dynamos? I have no need for producing direct current via a commutator, why do I need dynamos "You know, the dynamos for the labels" Ohhhhhhh I see, you mean DYMO you thick twat.
Same day, conversation while having a cup of tea. "Did you see that program about the man with the disease beginning with 'E' " What disease, Elephantitis, Eczema, Encephalitis, Ebola, Elampsia, stop me if I'm warm, Ectopic pregnancy, Edema, "No you know, the one beginning with E" It materialised after 15 minutes of guessing that it was Emphysema so I asked if it was good, her reply "I don't know I didn't see it".................
