The Octagon Bar: Don't Say We Didn't Warn You

[pax]

I had to look up something in the dictionary at work, and when I opened to a random page, this is what I saw:

Mid-lo-thi-an: former county in SE Scotland (Edinburgh).

An area of the southside of richmond is called Midlothian

Hi guys

Gosh I have been busy and have missed several bars completely

How are you?

 

[U2democrat]

I've been wondering where you were!!! Glad to see you back!

 

[pax]

Super-busy, but overall well.

Yourself?

 

[lauren430]

Hey Laura!

Hey Abby!

I am doing well. Big paper, more work, and more socializing is where I have been!

Not much is new here. Today is parent's day at the law school so my mom is here and we're going out to lunch with some friends and their moms next hour so that should be cute.

How is senior year shaping up Laura?

And how is the new job going Abby?

Hi Lauren!

 

[U2democrat]

I refused to do any work in German and my German teacher didn't care. He rocks.

OH today he told us he used to work at a woman's prison!

 

[lauren430]

Hey April

Laura, sounds like you have an awesome teacher there.

 

[U2democrat]

He rocks my world. During class his cell phone went off and he tried to blame it on other students but we wouldn't let him get away with it

I'm fine thanks - had the funniest phonecall at the pharmacy today!

One of the departments at the hospital called down and complained that they hadn't got some special medicine they'd ordered long ago and the needed it now!... so our pharmacist starts to look at their orders and runs around trying to find a solution...

He ends up with the conclusion that they must have gotten it, so he calles up to the department and ask them if the have looked for it in the fridge in the medicineroom, 'cause it has to be kept cold - "Oh... (pause) ... it's in the medicine room you say? (long pause) Yes, we've found it now, thanks"

It's so it's funny! If you don't look for medicine in the medicine room...

[~BrightestStar~]

That is funny!

In high school I remeber arriving at class and people would just be standing outside the door, one by one they would arrive, see ppl stadning there, and stand themselves. I show up, and ask, hasn anyone checked the door? I get a bunch a shrugs..try the door..and shock of all shocks, it's unlocked..oi!

Never underestimate the sheer stupidity of the human race!

While I was at university, I had a part time job as a cashier at a petrol station. This guy filled his car up and came in. This is what followed:

Guy: Pump 5.
Me: That's £10.75, please.
Him: Okay. *stands there looking blank,
making no attempt to pay*
Me: Anything else, sir?
Him: No. *continues to look blank and do
nothing*.
Me: *wonders if he's insane*Right then,
that's £10.75 please.
Him: Okay. *anyone getting deja vu here?*
Me: ...um...
Him: Okay. What are you waiting for now?
Me: £10.75, please!!
Him: Ah, Okay. *pays and buggers off*

It was like a bad Monty Python sketch. Confused the bejeezus out of me.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I worry to think what my grades would be if I were still in school and happened to stumble upon this place.

Edited to add: Reminds me that it's a lifetime since I last saw Monty Python - could use a good and some "Hello, Polly! POLLY! Polly parrot, wake up!"!

 

[starsgoblue]

Love Monty Python.... I was born in the wrong continent I swear...
