I think this has got to be my new favorite (unintentional) twist on the old “your mother doesn’t work here” trope. So congratulations, overbearing office manager! The three hours of company time you spent searching for just the right clip art — not to mention your charmingly cavalier disregard for spell-check — did not go unappreciated!
P.S. I promise, from now on, I will be sure to always clean and scrub the delicious Italian rice balls so graciously provided by the Phantom Mammas infiltrating our kitchen.

I thought that was what dishwashers were for…cleaning supplies. Why *have* a dishwasher if you’re not going to use it?
Also, why *isn’t* my mom allowed? She’s a much more considerate house guest, and a far better housekeeper than I am. I think you would really like my mom if you gave yourself a chance to know her.

I often find myself scrubbing without cleaning. I think that was a great reminder.

That’s okay, I’m bringing Dad. He likes to grill, and that means lighter fluid. Everything will be super clean, fire cleanses.

Clean the dishes before I put them in the dishwasher? I thought that’s why we HAD a dishwasher.

I feel sorry for the tall guy in the green teal shirt. He must never be able to find clothes that fit, always banging his head on doorways and being terribly uncomfortable when flying coach.

Ah yes…the gracious provision of luxury items such as plates, cutlery, napkins…stand in awe everyone at the generosity of your corporate overlords, lest you eat with your grimy hands from scavenged hubcaps.
I’ve worked in this place and eaten in this kitchen and there are never enough plates to go around. It’s not ‘bowloftoast’ without reason.

Someone should Do a Study on the Intentions of individuals who utilize Random capitalization in Sentences. Is it a way to Add importance to Certain words or is it just a mental Abnormality?

Feel Free Your Mom NOT Please.
That’s what I got out of it.
So uh, nobody wants a free feel of my Mom? She’s still pretty hot for her age, actually.
Or clean and scrub my Mom before not feeling her up for free, please?
I don’t know if she likes it in the kitchen, though. You’ll have to find that out on your own. *wink wink nudge nudge say no MORE*

…And Saint Attila raised the kitchen supplies up on high, saying, “O Lord, bless these, thy graciously provided kitchen supplies, that with them mayest we clean and scrub, and placeth them into thine dishwasher, in thy mercy.”

I guess “dishwasher” is actually office code for expensive drying rack.
