Quote of the day

So i figured that we should have a quote of the day thing going on, only we do funny quotes that pertain to whatever... does not have to be your quote of the day, myself, i will only post quotes that i actually hear/read... yes post more then one quote at one time, if you have it...

One of my coworkers (a woman) talking about getting lunch:
> You know what, it's either coffee and oreos or arbys and phone sex...

Myself, reflecting on my goals in life:
> Eventually i'm gonna die.


hope that's enough to get people started

Re: Quote of the day

So since it is a quote "of the day" does that mean I can't post one until tomorrow?

Re: Quote of the day

This one made me laugh out loud (you have to see it in context to understand).

It comes from the Resident Slayer (originally from Norman Schwarzkopf).

Quote:
He is neither a researcher nor is he schooled in the experimental arts, nor is he a logician, nor is he a scientist. Other than that he's a great judge of evidence.

Re: Quote of the day

lol awesome quote.

upon talking about a fix that our AV group did for a customer (mind you this is something they have been dealing with for 3 years):

"I walked in there, not even 2 hours later i diagnosed what the problem was. I walked over to them and said i found a problem and was going to take care of it, they were surprised, they were like 'Are you really going to fix it?' I was a little startled, should have said 'psych, got ya! I was just playing with you guys.' and walked out...."

One of our sales people:
him > "... I have another customer to see, and i just spilled water on my lap."
me > "So?"
him > "Well, i gotta present to a customer and i look like i peed myself!"
me > "Just start a wet tee shirt contest and nobody will notice a thing..."

My friend > "Be careful on this turn, its a down-hill and you don't want to hit that pole, my friends have broken it too many times, that's the pole that my Intrigue hit too"

Me > "Note to self, avoid the pole."

My friend > "Careful now, hitting that pole would really suck"

Me > "Yeah, it would suck more then Pamela Anderson in that that home-made movie with Tommy Lee, that's for sure..."

My Friend > "You haaad to go the whole nine yards, didn't you, ugh, the imagery"

Re: Quote of the day

Do you have the camera?

(a question my colleague asked me today while holding the camera in her hand)

Re: Quote of the day

my whole day is a joke of the day, i (well myself, 2 guys that do office furntiture, and an electrician and a networking tech) spent 4 hours in the morning setting up a polyvision room wizard on this new treadmill workstation, for presentation to our customer, take the cube walls apart, and put in some cabling into it, hide the wire, drill a few wholes to mount the wizard, recofigure that setup a few times.... it was getting to be around noon, and the designer who is responsible for the floor walks by and is like "i dunno why you guys are doing all this, the station is moving in like 2 months..."
