Wasted youth and the best comedy movies - a minor break from the daily fare(Vanity)
Me | Me

Posted on 01/14/2015 9:34:54 AM PST by reed13k

Okay so I recently hired a few recent college grads in technical roles and a conversation was struck up at the end of the day. The conversation was a result of a missed movie reference during another conversation earlier in the day. The type of thing where you assume some level of common culture so you don't have to explain in more detail.

What follows in my comment was the result and follow-on question for my fellow Freepers.


TOPICS: Humor; TV/Movies

Thanks to everyone for the inputs - I think I’ll put a list together and have some “training sessions” :)

I find “looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue” loosens things up a bit when we run into problems where I work.

Yes, this is an old thread -- but I was entertaining myself by reading the responses I missed....

I use this one as well, but substitute "stop smoking". Unfortunately, more and more people don't understand it. Instead, I get: "I didn't know you smoked!".

I guess you have to be at least a "certain age" to remember Airplane!
