And is that a bit threaded towel to be thrown in?
*groan*
If I can get away in time to drive up to Memphis for Alvin's SSIS presentation, I promise to stone Alvin in the parking lot afterwards. Some people think stoning is the only appropriate consequence for horrible puns.
Oh wait, that was Jason.... I just assumed..... 😉
:w00t:
hhhhmmmmmm
😛
So is Alvin still gonna get stoned? 😎
I vote yes. On general principals.
Woohoo - everybody to memphis for a stoning!!!

Is this like "stone soup" only "stone bbq"?

I like the idea of a BBQ along with the stoning. Spicy bbq - yum

Humor? In tech people? You're kidding, right?

I'm just enjoying that you get to be stoned for my comment :w00t::w00t:

Admit, it is a bit humorous

And I'm proud to be an American, where we don't know how to spell... Where the Founding Fathers ripped apart the King's English as well....

I didn't finally learn. I just decided to spell it the way I learned it, in my home country, Canada, USA's northern neighbour.

I don't know. I read his apology like a passive-aggressive slap upside the head. "Yes, I'm apologizing, but only because I got called on it."
Especially since he made that comment about "the other person" who still happened to be Gail.
Seems pretty sincere and genuine to me:
😛 😉 🙂
I thought it was sincere as well. Even if it wasn't, at least he did something to amend the problem.

Just a note, I got a second apology by PM. Very definitely genuine.

What always cracks me up is the difference in even public notices. Our street signs say things like 'Buckle Up - It's the Law', Canada's say "Seatbelts are compulsory" (and yes, I had to look up how to spell that)

Good Humor? you mean the ice cream guy? Yeah he's pretty cool, I don't think we'd want to see him stoned, it'd make it much harder for him to drive as if the 5 miles per hour through my neighborhood isn't slow enough.

Huh, I thought "high" was the default condition for the guys driving ice cream trucks. How else could you stand the incessant music?
