Let me preface this with, I did not write the following exchange, for those of you who don't know, it was taken from "The Office." If you have not seen "The Office", I highly recommend you check it out. The first time I watched part of an episode, I thought this is stupid, it's ridiculous, why would anyone ever watch this. But then I got hooked. The best way to describe it is to think of all of the people that you've ever worked with that irritated you, that were lazy, that you had to explain everything to. You know, the ones you go home at night and shake your head at wondering how these people even have a job. Put all those people in a company together and then film their everyday interactions, that's "The Office" and it's hilarious.
To preface this, Michael Scott is the boss or manager in this particular office, and he has jokingly told a gay coworker that he is being faggy.
Michael Scott: I call everybody faggy. Why would anyone find that offensive?
Toby: I think Oscar would like it if you just used "lame" or something.
Michael Scott: But that's what faggy means!
Michael Scott: You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded. And I consider Oscar a friend.
A friend reminded me of this quote last night, and I literally burst out in laughter, startling my sleeping daughter. I admit it is very politically incorrect and very offensive, but you have to laugh, I certainly did, and do every time I hear it.
