Going to Hell? I’ll be driving the bus down there later, so we’ll definitely meet up. This is the kind of stupidity I participate in (and encourage!) at work — below is an excerpt of an IM conversation I had with a co-worker as we were talking about the $22 million settlement of a lawsuit over a nightclub fire that killed over 100 people.
Co-worker: Interesting story. A case of sue where the money is.
Me: they sued everyone though
Me: they even sued anheuser-busch
Co-worker: the way the laws are set up, makes plenty of sense.
Me: how? you can’t even set beer on fire!
Co-worker: no, but I’ve had enough to set me on fire
Me: that’s different
Me: and beer doesn’t increase your flammability
Me: just your chances of accidentally becoming on fire
