You know you've been working in a Chinese place for too long when the thought of eggrolls starts to make your stomach turn *is ashamed* But one night we got bored and started making up some catch-slogans for our little department. Not that we'd ever actually use them, but here ya go...

Chinese Express:

Buy our goddamn food! It's good!

We play keep-away with toxic chemicals. (We were tossing the plastic spray bottle with the cleaner in it back and forth one night because we were all cleaning different things at different ends of the department.)

We say "breast" over the intercom, and we're proud of it. (Our manager actually did that--on accident. Three people stopped and asked what exactly we were selling back there.)

Violaters will be towel-snapped. (Survivors will be towel-snapped again. Manager does this on occasion.)

Somebody needs a hug...no, Manager, I don't mean the fridge. (Yes, he actually hugged the fridge.)

Add "in bed" to the end of the fortune cookies. Trust me. (Yeah, that was from me.)

On busy days, we help customers. On slow days, we deep-clean the counters. On "why are we open" days, we clean the light fixtures. (That was tonight's adventure. It was...not as gross as it could have been.)

Heh, sounds like an interesting work place. I...would have a job...if I'd put in applications earlier than I did. *winces* Yeah...I'm stupid at getting a job~ Saa~ But I've never had a job before, so...

:D;;;

But really--SOMEONE NEEDS A HUG? *huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs--her own icon! YOSH!*

This will be the fourth summer that I've worked there. It's not an ideal job, but it's decent enough. As you can see, I work with some interesting people =P

...I can't remember what led up to me telling my manager that he seemed to need a hug. But I walk past him, pick something up, turn back around, and he's glomping the big silver fridge. Insert potentially dirty joke here, and we all went back to work ^_^

*hugs icon*

Heh...I just...suck at getting a job...we used to live closer to where there are some fastfood joints and stuff...but now everything is like...a 5 minute drive down a well-used highway and bah...don't have a car and there's only one family car...and I'm only here for 3 months...*sighs* But I learn from mistakes~ Next time--apps go in at easter break *sage nod*

XDDD It reminds me of band and band camp~ We always have interesting characters and stuff during that time~~

...I will not make a "one time, at band camp" joke. I will not, I will refrain, I'm stronger than the joke...

*headdesks* This one time, at band camp-- *is shot*

The sad thing is that band members are the ones who say that joke the most often XDDD Sometimes without realizing it~

"Dude! This one time--at band camp--!"
"...what did you just say?"
"...one time at band camp?"
"...you're in the band, right?"
"...yeah?"
"...I don't want or NEED to know."
"...?"

XDD

My parents make that joke all the time--I no longer say "And one time" in their presence.

Another friend used to say "This one time" all the time, and we'd all say "at band camp!" Finally, he got fed up and after we did it, he said, "Fine! At a previous point in time which I will now recount to you..." Never did get the story--too busy laughing ^^

My mom taught me that joke when I was in eighth grade! I think the best we've ever had was a tie between my mom's "The first love and last love should be self-love," and Dad's "Fall down seven times, stand up eight." We DIED ♥

Whether they are the best or the worst...sort of depends on your POV, I guess. I cracked up =D
