H. L. Mencken was too kind-hearted...

I usually think his writings on the foibles of our species are spot-on, but today I think I out-did him...

Some asshole vandalized a new facility we're creating and we didn't see it until a presentation was ruined, so we wound up with jizz dripping down our chins.

As I was walking back to the shop, I thought

"Humanity is the biggest fucking WASTE of Protein ever devised..."

2. I know this is the wrong time for me to be laughing, and I am really sorry

...that you had such a crappy day, and that people can be such assholes.

But what, pray tell, what kind of facility are you creating that, by malfunctioning, would result in jizz on your chin??

3. Figure of speech.

Used to be "egg on your face", but that's pretty tame for "Today's Business climate", isn't it?

I WAS assured by my super that we wouldn't be expected to commit Hari-Kari in front of the VP for IT tomorrow....Not THIS time, anyway...
