For one, my stiff-upper-lip coworker posted an entry on the staff message board about an incident involving some unruly patrons. He used rather formal language...but then referred to the patrons as "fat"! I couldn't believe it! And then he referred to an incident involving two patrons that were, according to another coworker, "sharing a stall" in one of the restrooms...the uppity co-worker, in his uppity way, referred to the patrons as having "fornicated"! ROFL I mean, who even uses that word anymore!
And then, there's the "they said, they said" catfight going on between Mexico and Venezuela. Venezuelan president Hugho Chavez, as usual, was trash talkin', but this time, directed it at Mexican president Vicente Fox. So Fox was like, "You better take back what you said or else!" and the Venezuelan embassy was like "make us!" and then Fox was like "I'm gonna kick your people out of Mexico!" and then Chavez was like, "You better not mess with me!" (can you imagine the fingers snapping the neck waving?)and Fox was like "Your people best leave!" and Venezuela was like "We're already gone! We didn't want to be in your dumb country anyway" So now Mexico and Venezuela are fuming and they're not talking to each other....
If you don't know what I'm talking about, either check out the news online or don't ask :-P
