Me: What time are you going to be home?
The Boss: Five-ish.
Me: Finkel.
The Boss: *eyes roll*
I do this too because I suck.
Every time I turn the central heating on at home I always start singing "The heating's on" to the tune of The Heat Is On by Glen Frey, much to my girlfriend's annoyance.
When it’s cold, both my wife and I pull this one on each other:

A: Could you check to see if the heat is on?
B: Yeah, the heat is on.
A: (deadpan) Is it on the street?
Earlier my wife came back from the gym and so me sitting around and asked what I'd been up to.

I said made dinner and helped our son with his homework.

She says "oh taking care of business".

I say "Every Day".

She says nothing and keeps walking by and of course the kid was no help either.

I tried explaing it to my son and he said is that some country song or something. Jeez, I think my daughter might have got it were she still at home

Hah, what a joke it is to need to do overtime in order to stay alive but also violently loathe every moment you spend at work. I shake my head in folksy admiration of the way they've got this set up .

Look, Trotsky, billions of people have decided that this is the best, most natural way of determining how the resources to stay alive should be allocated. Just because you aren't worth more money than you or generations of heirs could ever spend doesn't mean capitalism is an immoral system.

An observation: Whenever you're looking for a pick-me-up, look at old Sesame Street clips on youtube.

If I were an employer, part of the hiring process would be showing that clip to candidates. Anyone who isn't visibly moved is a sociopath and should be avoided.
