My boss is the funniest person I know. But not in a traditional way. He says a lot of ridiculous things and he truly believes it. This blog is about some of these things he says. Of course half of the funny part is not the content, but the presentation. Image a big fat greek guy with a heavy accent who thinks he knows everything and whatever he says is true. He makes a lot of grammatical mistakes, mispronounces words, says completely different words than what he means and sometimes he flat out makes words up. Example: instead of EXPERT, he says EXPORT. GROUN instead of DROWN etc...

Thai food

Boss: people are crazy for Thai food. They must be out of their mind. I think the sauce they use in Thai food is just regular baby shit. You know, the stuff that comes out until they are 6 months old, until they are allowed to eat solid food? That's the sauce that they use in Thai food. They go around the neighborhood and collect it from babies for free.

Me: why do you have to be so miserable all the time?

Boss: I'm a realist. I always think about the truth behind everything..... and I assume the worst possible scenario.

Me: exactly my point...

Goldman Sachs should be afraid of the US Governmet?

a discussion about Goldman Sachs scandal took place a few days ago

Boss: this must be a joke, the US government is gonna accuse Goldman Sachs of something? Are they really that stupid? They're playing with fire here, they don't know what Goldman Sachs really is? They better back off right now.

today news came out that SEC employees were apparently watching porn at work instead of monitoring financial companies, such as Goldman Sachs

Boss: did you notice how after that one day when Goldman Sachs was accused by the SEC of fraud there wasn't much news about it at all? Do you remember what Tiger Woods did to the news? How much expose he got? And now Goldman Sachs supposedly cheated people out of billions of dollars and they only get 1 day news exposure? And today the news comes out that SEC were watching porn instead of watching Goldman Sachs? Now do you understand what I meant when I said SEC better back off Goldman Sachs now before its too late? Well its too late now, apparently the gloves are off.

The Russians killed the Polish president

As soon as I saw the headline on the news of the Polish president along with other 96 (or 97?) people dieing in that plane crash I immediately thought that my boss would have a perfectly good conspiracy theory explanation for it. Needles to say, as soon as I brought up the subject he was ready to roll.

Boss: There was absolutely nothing with the plane mechanically right?

Me: Yes, they said it was a human error, the pilot messed up somehow or something.

Boss: sure, sure... The pilot wanted to land where there was no place to land for some odd reason? Doesn't that ring a bell right away? The Polish people were going to Smolensk for a memorial service to honor the 20,000 Polish officers that were killed by the Soviets before the World War II started. Well, that's all Putin needed to hear 2 weeks after the terrorist bombings in the Moscow subways. That the Polish are going to bring an official delegation to open up old wounds and to tell the Russians how evil they are. He cut it off right at the root. No more memorial service for the 20,000 Polish killed by Russians to make the Polish hate the Russians even more. Instead lets make a national tragedy for the Polish with no one to blame but a "human error" and their own Polish pilot.

Me: So the pilot was kind of a "suicide bomber" working for the Russians?

Boss: That's actually possible, but I think Putin used some sort of a mind control technique. Some kind of inaudible frequencies through the communication system with the airplane to make the pilot disoriented and want to land the plane.

The Swiss are some crazy backwards people

Boss: if there was a nuclear world war, 99% of the Swiss citizens will survive it. Whatever you see above ground in Switzerland there is a copy of it underground. Before they can build anything, a hospital or a school, they must build it underground first.

Me: there are a lot of foreigners living in Switzerland, during a nuclear war they won't be allowed into the vault?

Boss: no, unless they buy the citizenship really quick. I should have bought the Swiss citizenship last time I was there, it was going for only $ 50,000. If you are a foreigner and want to buy an apartment in Switzerland you can, but only in designated areas with other foreigners. The government keeps perfect records of everybody. Do you know that in many areas in Switzerland women are still not allowed to vote? But, to top that, in those same places, women are allowed to be elected officials.

Me: do they have the ski slopes in the vault too?

Sausage makes you bad at hockey

This conversation took place the day after the US hockey team beat Finland 6-1 in the semifinals at the Vancouver Olympics

Boss: The Finns eat too much sausage.... big ones...... it makes them weak. Do you see what they put in sausage? It's dreadful to look at, how can you eat something like that?

Me: So the Finns are bad at hockey because they eat sausage? Actually, the Finns are traditionally excellent at hockey. They've won the most Olympic medals then anyone in hockey since '94

Boss: no.... they eat sausage, they can't be good. By the way, is Poland good at hockey?

Me: no, not at all

Boss: you see, I told you.... sausage makes you weak.

They're listening to us

Boss: Do you remember on THURSDAY I said that how come Cuomo, who will be running for the governor seat himself is allowed to investigate Paterson's domestic violence case?

Me: Sure, if you say so.

Boss: And then on FRIDAY Cuomo came out and said that he is handing the case over to an independent party!!

Me: But everyone has been saying that he should do that for like a week before already.

Boss: Well I didn't hear anyone talking about it

Me: They were, trust me

Boss: No, they're listening to what we say here in the office. You know they can use the cell phones to listen to anybody even if the phone is off? The only way to make sure they can't do that is to take the battery out of the phone?

Me: Yes, I've known that for at least 5 years

Boss: So.... there you go, they're listening to us!

Toyota is being sabotaged

So we were doing our daily routine, getting some work done, doing some unrelated research on the internet about casters for furniture for his house (or something).... the usual, when the conversation steered towards........ TOYOTA

Boss: Not that I like TOYOTA in any way, the name itself makes me want to throw up, How can any person in their right mind drive a car named TO-YO-TAH, you gotta be crazy! But what is going on with this whole toyota thing is that somebody is doing it on purpose to them. How can all these things be happening to the cars and the company can not figure out the problem. They keep jumping between solutions. First it was the mat, then it was the pedal, then the software, not its not the software. The truth is that somebody figured out how to accelerate these cars remotely. Probably some hackers or.... I don't know how these things work. And it is most likely the US government that is doing this in their last attempt to revive GM Ford and Chrysler. Do you hear about these problems anywhere else in the world? No, only in United States. So I wouldn't put it past them (the government) to do this.

Me: but TOYOTA employs thousands of people in the United States too

Boss: It doesn't matter, when World War III happens who is the government going to ask to build tanks for us? Definitely not toyota. They need to keep GM and Chrysler alive for World War III

At this point I decide to stop feeding the fire because I didn't want to listen to a story about World War III, World War II, Hitler, Stalin, how the Italians were supposed to bomb his island but instead they dumped their bombs in the sea and the people were waiving to the pilots, because the Italians are lazy and didn't really want to fight or kill anybody anyway but the french are even lazier and let me tell you about the japanese and how they take off their pants and hold them when they're in the subway so they don't get wrinkles on their pants AND YOU'RE GONNA BUY A CAR FROM THOSE PEOPLE???
