Sometimes my work is unintentionally hilarious. I'm currently reading a teaching article that manages to recast all the "problem" characteristics with millennial students/employees as postive attributes. So the fact that they avoid reading anything of length becomes "the younger hire today has become more and more attuned to brevity in writing" and "helicopter parent" becomes "in order to honor the connection that [millennials] and their parents have...".
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

"the younger hire today has become more and more attuned to brevity in writing"
Is that a veiled warning that applications may be written in textspeak?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Lying parents in commercials do bug me, but they are just annoying. But stealing you kids clothes -- I'm gussing your kids steal your too.

I hate getting all psyched up to make a phone call, iced tea, cigarette, and pencil and pad ready, and get ... voicemail. Argh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know what's really yummy? Snapple Nectarine White Tea. It's so barely sweet compared to most of their other drinks. I can chug that stuff.
I need a good chatspeak term/emoticon for laughing until I cry. Because I don't laugh my ass off. I weep with laughter.
