Tips from Employees to their Managers
- Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4pm and then bring it
in to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.
- If it's a rush job, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how
I am doing. That helps. Or even better, hover behind me, advising me at
every keystroke.
- Always leave without telling anyone where you are going. It gives me a
chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.
- If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books or supplies, don't open the door
for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and opening doors
with no arms is good training.
- If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is the priority.
I am psychic.
- Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere
to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond work.
- If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. If that gets out, it could
mean a promotion. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name
to be popular in conversations. I was born to be whipped.
- If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact,
save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with useful
information.
- Never introduce me to people you are with. I have no right to know
anything. In the corporate food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to
them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.
- Be nice to me only when the job I am doing for you could really change your
life and send you straight to manager's hell.
- Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any, and it's nice to
know someone is less fortunate. I especially like the story about having to
pay so much tax on the bonus check you received for being such a good
manager.
- Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my goal SHOULD have been.
- Give me a mediocre performance rating with a cost of living increase. I'm
not here for the money anyway.

Words women use
FINE
This is the word we use at the end of any argument that we feel we are right about but need to shut
you up. NEVER use fine to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.
FIVE MINUTES
This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last
before you take out the trash, so I feel that it's an even trade.
NOTHING
This means something and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the
feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. 'Nothing" usually
signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine."
GO AHEAD (with raised eyebrows)
This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the
word "Fine."
GO AHEAD (normal eyebrows)
This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care." You will get a raised eyebrow "Go
Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five
Minutes" when she cools off.
LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is still often a verbal statement very misunderstood by men. A "Loud
Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment and wonders why she is wasting her time standing
here and arguing with you over "Nothing."
SOFT SIGH
Again, not a word, but a verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" are one of the few things that some men actually
understand. She is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe and she will stay content.
THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can say to a man. "That's Okay" means that she
wants to think long and hard before paying you retributions for whatever it is that you have done.
"That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and used in conjunction with a raised eyebrow "Go
Ahead." At some point in the near future when she has plotted and planned, you are going to be in some
mighty big trouble.
PLEASE DO
This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse
or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance to tell the truth,
so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay."
THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not faint, just say you're welcome.

Ali G Driving Tips
"I as been driving since I was 12, but recently me desided to get a real driving licence.
However, when I went for a lesson, this ponce sat in me car and tried to make me drive like a
batty man. Don't worrie, I gave im a one inch punch like Bruce Lee, but because of this, I
as decided to pass on me driving knowlage to all ya massive for free. Read through me tips and
than you is ready for even long trips (like down to McDonnalds). Wicked"
Tip 1 - Make sure your car is safe.
You is gonna lose marks if ya car is a wreck. May I suggest you get an MOT first (Me mate
Dave will sell ya one for ?20 - Just tell 'im Ali said). Also, make sure all 8 of ya speakers
is workin' at there best (be carefull that the clutch pedal don't damage that 20" bass bin).
Tinted windows and UV lights may also win you marks wid the instructer.
Tip 2 - Make sure its safe for you to drive.
Its a well known fact that if you is a woman (thats 1 in 2 people in the UK), you will not be able to
drive. Batty men shouldn't drive either.
Tip 3 - Drinking and Driving.
You should never drink drive (not even if its rainin'). You could 'it A bump
an' spill ya drink - Aye. No, me is messin', don't do it.
Tip 4 - Listen for your Instructer.
If you can hear your instructer shouting at you, then your music aint Loud
enough you is probably listening to the wrong music, may I suggest Drum And Bass or Rap.
Tip 5 - Use the proper equipment.
When your instructer asks you to start the car, remember that you is supposed to use the
proper key, not a screwdriver.
Tip 6 - Changing Gears.
This is an important part of drivin' and I hope you is payin' attention. There are two main
gears you will use, thats 4 and 5. I suggest using 5th in residental areas, and 4th if you is
driving on a field or somthin'.
Tip 7 - Braking and Corners
Braking and corners 'ave a lot in common. You need to be usin' the Handbreak for both.
Tip 8 - Correct Signaling
Remember that the horn and headlights aint just for gettin' the attention of that bitch wid the
short skirt. They is best used to cuss at other drivers if they is goin' too slow (ie 90 mph).
Tip 9 - Advanced warning signs and Speed limits
I aint sure what these things are. You can make about £30 stealing them though. AYE!
Tip 10 - Dat's it, you is now a safe driver. You will be able to spend hours
sat In the carpark at MFI wid da Drum and Bass pumpin out.

going with the lowest bidder.

Motoring Terminology
Ghost Cars.
People who park up at traffic lights and leave more than a whole cars
length in front of them. It just means that some poor bugger at the back
of the queue is not going to get through the lights.
Ghost lines.
People who park after the white line at traffic lights. Are they blind?
In these situations pedestrians should be allowed to scramble over the
cars, or go through them.
Granddad drivers.
And people that drive like Granddads. Using main beam at every
opportunity, even though they are only doing 30-35mph in a 60 zone.
Crawling along at a snails pace even on the straight bits. Performing
Bob's mobile disco every time another car approaches in the opposite
direction.
Bob's mobile disco.
People that don't understand friction and drag. Cars DO slow down on
their own you know!!! You don't have to jump on the fucking brakes every
time the car in front slows a bit, or there is a slight curve in the
road. I mean, flashing the brakes on for 0.5 S can't actually be doing
anything, these people must be doing the flamenco on the pedals!
Psychic Drivers.
So you need to get into the gap? Well put your FrIKin InDIcaTOrS oN
ThEN!!!! I mean, if you indicate, I'll let you in. Do you think it is
less of an inconvenience to me if you just dive in suddenly?!?! I can't
read your mind, because there is nothing happening up there.
Magnetic Armco.
Why do people have do come on at a slip road and then be in the outside
lane within 40 yards? Chill dude! Just ease across as the gaps appear.
Sometimes it's like having a bloody crossroads on the motorway when cars
come cutting across virtually perpendicular to you.
Road blocks
Rules of wagon driving.
Where x = number of lanes, fill x-1 lanes with lorries moving in the
range of 58.8 - 60.1 mph.
Sandwich driving.
Rules of car driving.
Where small gap appears between two 40 ton lorries, nip in at the last
minute. I'm sure that those lorries are as easy to stop as a Ford
Fiesta.
Single lane roads.
Those broken white line are lane separators, they don't indicate the
middle of the road. When on 4 lane A roads, try and stay in your own bit
on the corners.
Imaginary cars.
Not to be confused with ghost cars. These are the cars that people stop
for at roundabouts. Well, I can't see them anyway, unless they were
stopping for the car that is on the opposite side and will eventually
get round here in about 20 seconds or more.
Drain pipes
Just a personal one this. Just to point out, those 5" exhausts look
reeeaaalllly crap. I mean....reeaallllllly. Though they do give me a
laugh.
Stationary oncoming vehicles?
See that bike/moped? See that oncoming car? Well, they're both moving,
and so are you. Try and engage your brain and ease off so that you reach
the bike/moped just as the other car has passed. If you don't have
enough brain power to do this, then just scream up to the back of it,
slam on the brakes at the last minute, forget to change down and then
pull out round it into the next oncoming vehicle with your foot to the
floor in fifth gear.
Race tracks.
errrmmm, no.
It's actually a car park, with lot's of people walking about with
shopping. And contrary to your own belief's, you can't see through cars.
Slow down and stop being a tosser.
Imaginary traffic.
Not to be confused with imaginary cars or ghost cars. These people drive
along the M40 at 2:00am in the middle lane. Look. Why should I have to
veer over to the third lane just to get past you? I don't mind this so
much on motorways like the M6 where you do tend to come across more slow
moving lorries.
Also see 'Delayed reactions'
Delayed Reactions
OK, so there was a slight mist 2 days ago. It should be safe to turn
your fog lights off now. Maybe? Often these conditions seem to persist
whilst overtaking imaginary traffic.
Eat more carrots.
So you can't see with out your 'driving light's on? Well eat more
carrots, or stay in at night. For fucks sake, you see people driving
round town with them on. Anyone doing this should be stopped by the
police and have them smashed out.
Over courteous numptys.
Don't let them in!!!!!
I mean, I'm behind you and I'm the last person in the flow of traffic.
If you just keep going, they will have plenty of time to pull out. Or of
course you could slam on the brakes when I'm not expecting it and risk a
pile up, when the person pulling out was probably just waiting for us
all to go past anyway.
Alternatively, at traffic lights, you get them trying to let people in
as soon as the lights go green, then they sit there waving at them to
let them in, whilst the other person sits there on another planet, as
you sit there watching the light's turn red again.
Four wheeled motorised bicycles.
It's a bike lane. If you are in a vehicle with four wheels, an engine
and a steering wheel, chances are, you are driving a car. MOVE OVER YOU
MOR0N!!!
Bus fighting.
He's in a bus. It's bigger than you. It's heavier than you. He doesn't
really care if he runs into you. Just let him out.
Parking places.
That black and white striped thing is not a parking space.
Safe parking areas.
So, double yellow lines, what's that all about then. It's not OK for me
to park there, but it IS OK for a disabled person? Either it is OK to
park or it isn't. They should have disable parking only area's. No one
should be parked on double yellows.
