Plus it's not even in line with the theme, since it wasn't exactly based off a <i>humor</i> cliche. So this probably means that no one else could possibly think it was ever, at any time, one bit funny. Sorry. I'm a bit out of my league here. I'm just sick of my coworkers talking about Sinbad. I don't know what else to do. It's not cool. I just thought of a new one! Any time one of my coworkers discovers that I have a college degree, they respond with 1) Then what are you doing here? or 2) So what do you want to do with your life? OLD: Um, I like my job. This is good right now, and I'm learning a lot. Plus I'll probably go to grad school kinda soon.... NEW: Well, I'm...um, juh, what are you saying?

OLD: Um, I like my job. This is good right now, and I’m learning a lot. Plus I’ll probably go to grad school kinda soon….

NEW: Well, I’m…um, juh, what are you saying?

When a coworker starts telling you about the great Sinbad show they attended over the weekend in Reno (which is, in fact, an office cliche - right?): OLD: "Heh, wow, yeah I bet that was a lot of fun. Sinbad can be pretty funny. I bet that was a lot of fun. Yeah." NEW: "Ew, nope. Stop, please. There's no way I want to hear about this." I have one, based on a recent experience in the office.
