He was telling a story to a boss and I about helping a customer, which he hated customer interaction, and how he helped a lady with two things outside of our department. I looked at him and said "Jerrod, that's mighty ***** of you." He laughed . . . my boss went off and I got called into the HR office. It took a third boss to come into the room to explain to them that what I said was . . . "That's mighty odd of you" and was just making a play on words, which was pretty much what I was telling them.

Jerrod thought it was hilarious never complained but I was going to be punished if the third boss didn't come in and verify my explanation. The more you know.

edit - - LOL I guess it's not allowed here either.

If you take the first two letters of QUit and use them the replace the p in pEER, you can 'figger' out what is blocked above

When I was a kid my mom sang the song "Mares eat oats" to me and that word is in it.  I was 5 or 6 and I added that word to my vocabulary, as I did with all new words.  She said it meant weird.  Yeah, first time I dropped that into a conversation you could hear the proverbial record scratch and life grind to a halt.

Side note, it's funny how much people whine that you "can't say anything these days" when I have a pocketfull of stories from 30+ years ago of me getting in hot water for "saying stuff" when I was a kid.  No fair.

We need to get back to labor unions that are at least strong enough to protect the working man from being instantly fired for stuff like this.
