If that is the case, I am living on borrowed time.

I’m wondering if this will help the Obama administration justify the high unemployment rate.

Before you die, a slow death at the office may occur first.

Death by hanging. Is that preferable to a slow death by blood loss due to massive butt chewing?

Punishment meted out by colleagues , who have no or little power, has to be better than getting chewed out!

There are some jobs where an early death would be preferable to the alternative.

“Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday and you’re not feeling real well, does anyone ever say to you, ‘Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays?’”

“No. No, man. S**t, no, man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked sayin’ something like that, man.”
