Santa Claus

Even Santa Claus coming down the chimney to give presents to children got its real start with St. Nicholas sneaking into people's houses in Constantinople to leave bags of gold so the parents wouldn't have to sell their children into slavery.

As a Scot, there's nothing more disappointing than finding out about the history of kilts.

Term limits are just people from the past telling you who you can vote for today.

I was having lunch once with a coworker at Olive Garden and he said that the Olive Garden chain of restaurants consumes 20% of the world's black olive crop. I don't know what made him think that was even remotely possible.

My college was desperate for students and couldn't afford to kick anybody out. There were people around that did worse shit than this guy and stayed.

I tried to befriend a friendless dude in college. Found out he was friendless because he went around asking women what their "cunt diameter" was. Even women professors!

I'm not allowed to work from home and it seriously pisses me off. Whenever I complain about this to my boss, she always gives me shit like "you're a school bus driver".

Not exactly the same, but I once attended a work call when I was staying with my Dad after he had a knee replacement. He had decided to "tough it out" and not take painkillers, and during the call he started screaming "kill me! oh god kill me!" because of the pain, quite loud enough to be heard by everyone on the call. My boss said "it's OK, ChickenLady, this call isn't that important. Go ahead and kill your father."
