Unfortunate Word-Choice Theater Presents...

A direct quote from something currently in my work in-box:
This eMail is your notification that you have been assigned the role of Sub for the convention indicated below.
Bold italics, no less.

Um.....OK, I guess. If it's for the good of the company and everything.

Ask to have it changed to "U-Boat".

LOL at Johan; I was going to ask if you were going as Tuna, or Steak-n-cheese. ROFL

A most excellent post title, btw.

Y'all are innocent! Heh.

Enusan said...

The reference to food is definitely not what makes the choice of that term unfortunate in my mind. I think Argonaut and I are on the same wavelength.

So good of you to be willing to take one for the team, Mr. Hornswoggler.

I believe Argonaut and Enusan took "Sub" about the same way I did -- however, I never said anything about "taking one."

Ahem.
