new phrases for the work place

Politics is a game played by dishonest people to gain an unfair advantage!

Never under estimate the strength of a cornered coward.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

I just find that rather crass and in no way funny. To me it is just gutter talk and fail to see any humour in it. I've seen plenty of humour without having to resort to using that sort of language. :roll:

When I was growing up I was always taught to be a gentleman and not speak like that in front of women and kids. I know this type of thinking seems to be getting more and more out of date in todays society but I still hold by it.
