I put "Congrats on having another kid!" but now I think I should scratch it out and change it to something else. Any thoughts?

Female coworker - "Looking forward to making another one with you."
Male coworker - "It's not yours!"

Holy crap, I just signed one of these like 10 minutes ago.

Yeah, I would scratch that out, unless you know her and the joke would be appreciated. I put something like: "Congrats and best of luck with everything"

Or something similarly innocuous. Don't overdo it, if you don't really know her outside of work just put something generic.

or "It was like screwing a jar of mayonnaise"

I have no idea what that would be like, mind you.

Yeah, probably a good idea. I don't really know her, nor like her very much.

A guy I knew in High School used to work at McDonalds and he told me one of the late night crew got fired because he was having sex with the shortening containers.

We had a card for a guy who had a baby last week.
I wrote:

"Yay for babies!"

what's wrong with what you put?

don't scratch it out, you'll make the card look all ghetto and seem like you didn't know what the hell to put.

me, i would have wrote "congrats" with a little smiley face and been done with it.

I don't know, I thought it looked a bit cold after seeing it on the card. I could just use white-out instead of scratching it, to make it look a little less ghetto. I guess it doesn't matter.

it matters. cuz then she'll wonder what you initially put and probably scratch off the whiteout to see. there's a pile of ghetto waiting to happen to that card, i can feel it.

I think the best course of action would be to put the URL of this thread in the card.

Aye, that's what I really want to put. I hate when people bring their kids to work.

Good luck on finding the father?

I heard Maury was taping another Who's My Babies Daddy special.

I know it's not mine, I was the guy wearing the rubber.

It was definitely cheaper than paying for the boob job.

I didn't even know you were pregnant!

After the first four, this one shouldn't give anymore stretch marks.

This should double your welfare check!

What part of pull out did he not understand?

At least it's not your cousins baby; wait, is it your cousins baby?

When you said you had invitro, why did the Dr. Pull down his pants?

Are you keeping this one?

Sixth time's a charm.

Getting the nerve block this time or just another fifth of Jack the night before?

No, you can't get pregnant again while you are pregnant.

What's the wedding date?

Think if this as god's gift, and I don't mean the nine months of no bleeding.

:roll: @ this forum in general. Just be nice and write something she'd like to hear while leaving out derogatory words. Saying "Congrats on having another kid!" definitely could be taken as sarcastic. Something simple like "Congrats" or "I wish you and your family the best" would be fine.

I can't help it, I'm sarcastic all the time, but thanks for your contribution, I really appreciate it!
