A true-life account of a conversation at work the other day......
Long time employee in back: That's what you guys don't understand up front, me, *Joe*, and *John* are the heart of this operation. You up front just take the orders, we in the back do all the hard work. We make this thing run.
3 month, annoyed employee up front: You're the heart of the operation?
Long time employee in back: Yep.
3 month, annoyed employee up front: Sounds like you're more the penis of the operation. (Promptly walks back up front.)
Long time employee in back: (Looks at me) What the hell was that supposed to mean?
Me: I think he just called you a dick. (Promptly walks back up front.)
Some people are just assholes.
