More Conversations From Work
I had an interesting day at school and night at work, so I thought I would share some of it with you.....-This question was asked to me by a fellow employee: "Hey, have you tooken college english yet?" I sure did. I got learned real good in that class.
- This comment was made later about school: Man I hate this job, I should have stayed my a** in school."
- This question was asked by a student to a professor today in class: "I'm confused about what a neurotransmission is. I mean, you know, what it does and what it is and everything." Professor's answer: "Well first of all it is a verb." I love it.
-A conversation I had with a fellow employee today. Keep in mind this guy is about 10-15 years older than me, and working at the footwear department at Dick's Sporting Goods...
Dude: So did you have a good weekend? Did you pound a lot of units?
Wes: What?
Dude: I said did you pound a lot of units this weekend?
Wes: Pound a lot of units?
Dude: Yeah..
Wes: I don't know what that means.
Dude: You know, pound a lot of units....(tilts his head back and makes a motion with his hand as if he is taking a swig of a beverage)
Wes: (expression of utter confusion)
Dude: Did you go drinkin man, that's what I was askin.
Wes: I don't drink.
Dude: Oh......well you're a good man. So how bout that Indiana game? Was that bad or what?

It was Bo! wasn't it?
No it wasn't Bo.
One of these days, I hope to be a professor who makes quick-witted comments.
You're professor is an idiot. Neaurotransmission is a noun. If the word was neurotransmit it would be a verb. If the word was the action performed by a neurotransmitter then it would be a verb. Instead it is what is created (the actual impulse) by the neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmission should not be taken so lightly.
You misunderstand....this girl referred to neurotransmission as "the neurotransmission",such as the transmission in a car, like my brain has a neurotransmission that shifts gears for my brain to go faster...that's why I thought it was funny. I guess I was not clear enough.

Speaking of academia...Troy you didn't use an appropriate style for citing references. I suggest MLA, please purchase the appropriate style manual and reference the section about referencing entries in a reference text. All I really want to know is did she have flannel bag?
Flannel bag?
