It’s the first day back at work after the holidays. Of course the break room is filled with the candy and left overs nobody wants sitting at home. Someone brought in Jelly Belly brand candy canes.
One person was reading the wrapper trying to figure out the flavor and said “what do they mean produced with genetic engineering?”
(It’s true, it says so on the wrapper)
Not missing a beat I replied “well candy canes naturally are red and white and peppermint flavored, with genetic engineering they can grow them in a wide variety of colors and flavors.”
I hope I don’t get called to HR for that.
Remember Naugahyde? Remember Naugahyde jackets? One of my teachers wore one, and was very happy with how it looked, and kept the wind off of her, until another teacher told her, “Hey, don’t you know that Nauga’s are an endangered species? Shouldn’t you feel bad about another Nauga dying, just so you can wear a coat from it’s hide?”
Hell, yes, I laughed!
