Death of Common Sense

The fate of Common Sense is in your hands…

Common Sense died as we entered the Naughties; six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment
for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, teacher fired for
reprimanding an unruly student, schools required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a
student, honor student expelled for having a table knife in her school lunch, a government plan to ban
inhalers from 14 million asthmatics due to a trace of a pollutant that may be harmful to the environment.
 
Common Sense gets resurrected here and now.

Workmate With A Sense Of Humour

Spider

Two words… Fuck… That…

Our office has had a resident huntsman spider, Sammy, for the last week, two nights ago he moved from his usual spot above the Sales Managers office door.

He was found by a few staff members, but his whereabouts remained a mystery to most… Until today that is… One of the female staff members found him in a corridor that leads to our lunchroom… And of course a bit hoo-ha was made about it and calls for it to be disposed with…

We’ve recently had a new staff member come on board, a new MD, this new staff member has served time in Vietnam, so he’s no pushover… He walks up to the spider, reaches up and prods it a few times and it falls onto his shirt! Cool as a cucumber he cups it in both his hands, walks outside and lets it go in the front garden! People sat in amazement as our new MD calmly walked through the office with a massive huntsman spider cupped in his hands…

A coworker and myself were just discussing this on MSN, he’s of Asian descent, originally from Hong Kong, he has lived in Australia since he was 3… So he’s an Aussie through and through… Of what just happened he said, “It must have been Nam!” and continued, “yeah don’t want to cross him!! He’ll put you in a death lock!! Fuck imagine if my name was Charlie!! He’ll go crazy!!”

Now that is a sense of humour…. I had to share that joke… :)

    He’s welcome to come and remove them from my house anytime. Unfortunately after a trip up the vacuum cleaner hose, they’re not fit to be released into the garden. :o\
