Trainee: I wish my computer would just shut down so I can go home.
Me: kick it.
Trainee: I have done nothing but answer emails since I came back from lunch. I’m about to kick Prince up and party Like it’s 1999. As a matter of fact one of my friends just used the country-est saying I’ve heard in a long time. He said that the person he was talking to need to stop griping before he told her how the cow ate the cabbage. I was in here cracking up.
Me: I have never heard that. What does that mean?
Trainee: Don’t react before you know what happened. I never heard that one either, but out of all the country ones I heard this was just straight back woods country.
Me: I wonder where statements like that come from. Like 200 years ago, did this happen? :
Farmer: OH MY GAWD!! The COW’s in the cabbage! And it ate it all up! YOU’RE supposed to be watching Bessie, the cow! I’m gonna kill you!
Wife: No wait! You don’t understand! Stop griping before I tell you HOW the cow ate the cabbage!
Farmer: All right, fine. HOW did the cow eat the cabbage?
Wife: One bite at a time.
Farmer: I’M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS! *kick kick kick kick*
Trainee: if anybody else read these emails they would swear our lunch was liquid.
