What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

These two lines came out of a woman that I work with in the last couple days;

"The road was closed so I didn't know if I should get on the highway going Eastbound or Westbound, and my gps wasn't working because it was cloudy and couldn't receive information"

And finally yesterday;

I stated I finally rented out my apartment. She asked "When are they moving in?". I stated "On the 15th" and she quickly responded "This month?"

At this point it's the 23rd....

Seriously everyone around my area at the same time put their hands on their forehead.

You're not going to escape these types of people by joining the military. In fact, a quick perusal of the Recruiting threads will show you that you are about to spend some signifigant quality time with many of them as course mates.

At least now, you can punch out from your job, go home and be free of the insanity for awhile.

Once on BMQ you will be spending 24 hrs a day with them and you'll soon realize your imbicile office pals were Einstein in comparison.

Have fun and good luck. ;D
 
Ahh. The joys of being the progeny of a 1 percenter.

Banker Bro Now Hiring Frat Dudes With Hot 'Slampieces'

http://jezebel.com/banker-bro-now-hiring-frat-dudes-with-hot-slampieces-1012342664

This is an email from a person to his fraternity listserv. We're gonna jump right into it.

(If you are unfamiliar with the term "slampiece," please refer to Romeo & Juliet, Act I, Scene V: "What slampiece is that, which doth / enrich the hand / of yonder knight?")

All emphasis ours, obviously.

Subject: Great Job Opportunity - PLEASE READ
Brothers,

As some of you may already know, I have been interested in the world of finance for some time. After a series of summer internships, however, I have somehow found myself without a full-time job offer for the upcoming year. Fuckin' Obama's fault for strangling this economy.

Luckily, due to the tough job market, my dad has agreed to let me access my trust fund early (mid 7-figures) to start a relatively small hedge fund, ___ Ventures, after graduation. I'm emailing you guys today to let you know that, for the rest rest of the year, I will be recruiting 2 full-time employees and 1 intern to help me get this off the ground.

With my financial expertise, help from my powerful father and connections, and a skilled team, I have no doubt that this fund will rise quickly to prominence. We'll all get filthy rich and, inevitably, bag hot slampieces. If possible, I'd love to give all 3 of these positions to my brothers.

Although you would technically be working for me, I like to think of it more as a team effort. I know that my education and background qualifies me to lead a venture of this sort, and I would really appreciate your support. Below are the job descriptions. If interested, please email me a resume, cover letter, and paragraph describing why you would be excited to work with me.

Position 1: Lead Investment Analyst
-Because I will spend most of my time networking, raising money, and handshaking with industry bigwigs, I need someone with a strong quant background to take care of the majority of actual analysis.
-Finance experience preferred but not required
-Compensation: Low six figures with benefits

Postion 2: Office Manager/Secretary
-Although this may not sound like the most prestigious role within a fund, someone needs to hand the day-to-day operations and while I and my Lead Investment Analyst conduct strategies to make us all rich. This person would also be in charge of hiring hot secretaries for us to ogle (and possibly slam) during the workday.
-Detail oriented person needed
-Compensation: $70,000 base with benefits (like working close with a slampiece)

Position 3: Intern/Pledge
-This position is available to all sophomores and juniors. Think of it like pledging my hedge fund (so xxx and xxx need not apply)
-I will judge this position primarily based on how hard you pledged and how I rate your slampiece pulling ability
-Compensation: $25/hr with a good opportunity for full-time employment post graduation.

I'm really excited to get this going, and I hope some of you will be joining me. Let me know if you have any questions at all.
Sincerely,
xxx

This a real-life email from a person who is not Sack Lodge from Wedding Crashers, but an actual human being who has numerals at the end of his name. I have taken to The Google and found out who his father is; it is not a surprise.

Couple of good humorous comments in reaction to the article:

Jonathan Chait of the New YorK Magazine: "I've never even been slightly tempted to think, "screw it, let's give communism a try," until I read this email"

Ezra Klein from The Jeff Bezos Washington Post: "This kid is a misogynist and a moron who couldn’t get a real job even with his dad’s connections. But that doesn’t mean his hedge fund will fail. It might be exactly why it succeeds, at least for awhile."
 
This one's me....

Yesterday, I went to the Source for a part I needed for my computer. What I was looking for was a Bluetooth Dongle which is a bluetooth adapter that goes in your usb port and enables you to create a bluetooth network. Anyways I walked into the store and proceeded to ask the sales associate for some direction. I was a little distracted at the time and said....

"Excuse me, you wouldn't happen to sell bluetooth dingles here?"

FYI a dingle is a piece of dry **** that is stuck to your *** hairs.

By the time I corrected myself I had both the sales associate, and one of the customers in the same aisle in roaring laughter. The sales associate replied...

"Sorry bro, I don't think they've come out with them yet."

LOL, I made myself look like a dill hole, but it was pretty funny nevertheless.
 
Kenyan women straddling motorcycles is ‘uncultured,’ cites proposed law

Because some in Kenya have decided that women riding on motorcycles is too distracting for lust-hungry men, women in Kisumu County may soon be forced to ride sidesaddle, endangering their lives.

At issue, is the fact that when women ride as passengers behind a man, they naturally have to open their legs, as do the men, to straddle the bike. This action is "really demeaning to our women,” county assembly member Caroline Owen who proposed a new law, tells local news station Kenya Television Network.

.....

Many people in Kisumu County, which borders Lake Victoria, use motorcycle taxis because they are cheaper than cars. Men and women alike ride as passengers on the back, but for the women that do, it is apparently so distracting to male onlookers that some report not being able to drive safely.

I have a better idea, just ban "lust-hungry" and/or easily distracted men from driving....  ::)

Unless proven otherwise the guy at the sharp end is right; support him.

So barring that said sgt needs to work under max supervision, requested something completely unreasonable or has otherwise shown a pattern of poor judgement, just STFU and give it to him.

I use to think that the following scene from Heartbreak ridge was hilarious.

Now thinking about this makes my blood pressure skyrocket. Thank the gods that I have an awesome platoon HQ/leadership and troops.

This quote just after the final battle scene sums it all up:

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: [approaching Highway] Just what the hell do you think you're doing?
Highway: Just enjoying the view, sir.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Well, you disobeyed an order. I told you to stay in contact and not take this hill without me. Damn it! Get on your feet, Highway!
Highway: With all due respect, sir, you're beginning to bore the hell out of me.
[sees the helicopter landing and Colonel Meyers getting out]
Colonel Meyers: Who's in charge here?
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: I am, sir. Major Malcolm Powers.
Colonel Meyers: Did you lead this assault?
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Sir, Leutenant Ring and Gunnery Sergeant Highway disobeyed a direct order. I told them to wait for support but they went up this hill anyway.
Colonel Meyers: [to Highway] Why?
Highway: We're Marines, sir. We're paid to adapt, to improvise.
Lieutenant M.R. Ring: Sir, I gave the order to take this hill.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Ring, this is going to ruin your career.
Colonel Meyers: Are you new to the infantry, Major?
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Yes, sir. Just came over from supply.
Colonel Meyers: Were you good at that?
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Yes, sir!
Colonel Meyers: Well then, stick to it because you're a walking cluster fuck as an infantry officer. My men are hard chargers, Major! Leutenant Ring and Gunny Highway took a handfull of young fire pissers, exercised some personal initiative and kicked ass!
[to Lt Ring]
Colonel Meyers: Good job, Leutenant!
Lieutenant M.R. Ring: Thank you, sir!
Colonel Meyers: Leutenant, see to it that those students are escorted back to Cherry Point.
Lieutenant M.R. Ring: Yes, sir!
Colonel Meyers: [to Powers] Well, you're dismissed!

Finding, and posting the video link, would have been more effective and explanatory.

You must have been Supply or Transport. ;D

Funny Guy. ;)

I tried several searches on Youtube, and short of posting half of the full movie, nothing came up with that specific scene.

Just chalk it up as another dumbest thing you seen today. ;D
