My supervisor was walking the newest employee around the building and stopped to introduce her to me. (I should mention that in our shop everyone is easy going and we have a good relationships with each other) My supervisor asked me to say something good about the shop and jokingly offered to buy me lunch. I replied, "AtFab: It doesn't suck." They just stared at me. What did I say? I sure thought it was funny.

Hee hee, that's a pretty good one. Applying it here: "Conversatron: It doesn't suck".
Hee hee!
Crow T. Robot
Yeah, we think that's funny. And we know nothing of AtFab, so it must really be funny to stand on its own like that.
Tom Servo
I don't understand what anyone in your workplace could have against that kind of statement.
Joel Robinson
Uhmm, guys?
Crow T. Robot
Yes Joel?
Joel Robinson
Have you ever had to work for a living? Much less in middle-management?
Tom Servo
Sure we've worked. We've worked a lot in our lives. Why just yesterday...
Joel Robinson
...In middle-management?
Crow T. Robot
Hrmm, I guess we haven't. Does that matter?
Joel Robinson
Well, let's just say that mixing the word 'suck' in the same sentence that you use the company name is kind of taboo.
Crow T. Robot
Even if you are being funny?
Joel Robinson
Especially if you are being funny.
Tom Servo
Oooh, I see.
Crow T. Robot
Servo, do you think this has something to do with the fact that recently we can only get lame gigs like this stint on the Conversatron?
Tom Servo
Wow, maybe we should rethink our work ethic.
Crow T. Robot
What would our new slogan be if we wanted to get into a better place than this?
