"Oh crap! I have a PhD and wrote several papers on Quantum Physics, but I have no arms. Thus, I'm not qualified for the job!"

Talk or hear. You should try that. Just go through an entire day where you either don't speak or don't listen to ANYBODY. If someone complains, just show them that paragraph.

I like how these are there because of the Americans with Disabilities Act. They basically word things so we dont have to hire any disabled people.
I work for Satan.

Yeah... every once in a while, just flip off a co-worker or your boss and say, "Hey, I'm just doing what my job dictates."

Yeah, but seriously. Is there a lot of fingering going on in your office? Cuz if so, I want to work there.
"Time for your daily fingering!!!"
