my boss, explaining why the card doesn't go there:

"This one is a photo so you shouldn't put it here. These ones are all drawings. Drawings and cartoons of animals. ... Well, maybe not this one. I think this one is a photo."

...The dinosaur?

"Yeah. This is a photograph."

A photograph of a dinosaur.

"Yeah."

Oh, that's just silly. Everybody knows dinosaurs haven't been around since Noah and the Ark, almost almost 5000 years ago, and they didn't have cameras then.

bwahahahahahaha!

OMG.

I sincerely hope that someday you have an intelligent, normal boss. So far you seem to be 0 for 2. The universe must be preparing a good one for you at this point; the odds having to be tipping in your favor by now.

She's actually not as bad as the old guy. His craziness affected our lives in a much worse way, like not getting paid and dealing with genuinely dangerous work conditions. Now that I've gotten used to her craziness, it's more amusing than angering, and usually harmless.

O.O

Did she ever realize what she was saying?

[pauraque]

She hesitated a little, but then pressed on. Quite possibly she just didn't want to admit to saying something dumb. She's no good at laughing at herself.

Wait, a photograph of a dinosaur that is NOT all bones?

Oh.


Ack.

There were multiple ways it could have worked, like if it was a photo of a skeleton, or a photo of a model... But no, it was just a moderately realistic-looking painting.

You too? But, I expect these probably don't have feathers. Or, if they do, are dromaeosaurs or something similar.

Very well, a photo of a dinosaur that went extinct before cameras were invented. :)
