Miss Johnson, please fetch me my paddle....again.

[Gunny]

Well, at least it's not red ink.

I guess we should have listened to Joe Operator when he said the pump was making a funny noise.

[pedu]

It just struck me; I haven't seen Noah from the carpentry shop lately.

[mbfleth]

I knew there would be trouble when Exxon bought the lot next door.

Well Eve, the old man said he would right the ship so here comes the high water. I guess hell will be next.

If those "Green party" wingnuts think they can take on big oil, then tell them to come on.

[russell johnson]

I still dont think we have anything to do with greenhouse emissions
or global warming

[Bob Stills]

Ms. Pembroke, we'll just have to be patient. We've supported our Corporate outsourcing strategy so it will take six weeks on the water to get a crew in here from China.

We're up WHAT Creek without a paddle?

[empower]

My Recommendation? Save your watch because our boots are a loss!

[Brank]

This just goes to show that Mr. Smith was right on my last assessment...I'm no water-walker!

[OhioAtlas]

Now we know why the acquisition of swamp land came at a good price.

[sergio]

is this that hot water they were talking about?

[Lean'n'Mean]

This new job is tough. I mean, I knew that I needed some experience to get my feet wet, but this is ridiculous!

[amorum]

So, tell me again how it's a good thing we are on the 25th floor.

[jboulter]

when do you think the sharks will start feeding?

[SAM_USA]

In the spirit of moving our production to China, Management said they were creating rice patties in the office so we could all enjoy a cheap lunch.

[William_Meloney]

Yeah, 'up to my ankles in aligators' does come to mind... why do you ask?

[PDRJ]

Well.... just be glad it isn't red ink.

[yosty]

I been having this sinking feeling lately. . . .

With oil prices rising, we decide to stockpile now in order to save money. It's not so bad, until you need to go downstairs to accounting . . .

[Art Stanley]

I should be home Friday; don't forget to call the plumber.

[fred333]

That is a good one.
