Years ago we had an employee at our company who was always coming up with entertaining words of wisdom.  What was humorous was the fact that he often thought that he was saying something profound when actually it was nonsense.   But now as I think back to some of his quotes I start to see another side to them; maybe in my ‘old’ age I’m getting senile.   Anyway without mentioning any names (he is still a friend of mine) below are some of his sayings.

“He’s an engineer of the third kind.”  Spoken in anger over a disagreement he was having with one of the engineers.  What was really funny about this was that the ‘engineer’ was in the next cubicle and heard it.  He came around the wall and said, “What was that, _____*?”  We still use this one usually referring to the same ‘engineer’.

“Reality is real.”  Not sure what prompted this one so it’s offered here with no explanation other than the fact I once asked him if he did drugs in the sixties and he replied that he did them at all temperatures.

“Wait! Now I have it.”  After digging in his pockets for the correct change when paying for an order at McDonalds and finally giving up and handing over a $5 bill and receiving the change from the counterperson.

“And that will be to go.”  Spoken in the drive thru at McDonalds.

* - remember I said no names
