Of Vile Verbiage July 4, 2008
Posted by Jen in : Journal , 32 commentsI do, dear reader, wonder whether I might have some advanced form of verbal Tourettes. I do, despite evidence to the contrary on this blog of nonsense, try to conduct myself like an intelligent, sane person. This illusion is sadly shattered when I open my mouth. Is it not attached to my brain at all?
Here, have yesterday’s example.
Wise boss: ‘The important thing is to always be one step ahead of others.’
I nod sagely, full of gravitas, before adding my own salient point. ‘Of course, being one step behind them means you can look at their bum.’
Bugger. I suspect it’s not Teletubbies that got me where I am today. It’s my inability to stop saying stuff with my mouth before it has been filtered through my Brian. It’s a puzzle because I never waste my Brian power on anything less than intellectual and stimulating. Sigh.
