Is He Cereal?

I know a fella with a boss who gets on his nerves. I guess it's easy to understand why he doesn't have a whole lot of respect for him, as the boss isn't very nice person who happens to mutilate the English language on a regular basis. That's got to get a little annoying.

Some examples:

  1. "Lunches for the showroom staff are generally one hour, however, working with clients always takes president over lunch."
  2. "He didn't even have the courtesy to call me back, little loan tell me to my face."

Ahhh, them are some good 'uns ain't they?

Pwaaaaaaah-ha-ha-ha... "little loan".... ha-ha-ha... never heard that one before. He "must of" memorized that one and now has it "down packed".

Those little mistakes are what give us power over them y'know. We get to laugh at their crappy English and not tell them what they said wrong.
