So. Is there something inherent about the act of drying your hands with a paper towel that requires you to stand directly in front of the paper-towel dispenser while doing so, even when there is someone else standing nearby with dripping hands, waiting for a paper towel?

I'm far too amused by the typo 'cow-orker'

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Not a typo, deliberate. :) (I think it may have originated over on alt.sysadmin.recovery lo these many years ago, but I can't take "co-worker" seriously anymore. XD)

Then, that is the best, intentional mis-spelling since 'teh'!

I think it was part of alt.folklore.urban (http://tafkac.org/afu/guides/afu_language.html) jargon before it spread to the Scary Devil Monastery, but I never quite followed either place religiously enough to want to swear to it.

I discovered both those places plus alt.religion.kibology* at the same time, so I never quite remember which things come from which. I think they had a pretty big overlap in participants, too.

PLEASE tell me you hung out in alt.fan.warlord as well! Damn kids these days look at me like I'm senile when I crack up over * <--- PERTH.

Sorry! a.f.u, a.r.k, and a.s.r were my primary hangouts (lurking only in a.s.r - I still lurk there XD).
