Comediot: /com-E-dE-ot/ Jill thinks she is the life of the party, telling her stupid jokes that have no punch line, and go on and on with no end in sight.

Great word. Very descriptive and blunt. Wish I’d thought of it.OZZIEBOB, 2008-04-01: 22:24:00
Spot on.
Mirthworm: /murth werm/ Darryl was a mirthworm. He was the office geek, allegedly hired to fix all the computer & communications equipment problems. This meant he had a lot of time on his hands. And everyone knows that idol hands are the Devil’s workshop. He wasted his days bothering people by sending them or telling them jokes that only he found funny. Every April Fool’s Day, he could be counted on to author tasteless jokes and tricks at the expense of his fellow workers. Like when he had everyone tie plastic baggies around their telephones, because the phone company would be blowing air through the waves to clean out dust and the baggies prevented the dust from getting all over one’s desk. Or like the times he had left phone messages for people to call back a Mr. Don Keyes or Mr. G. Raff and the telephone number was that of the local zoo. Or when he left messages to call Germaine Shepherd or Greta Dane, at the local dog pound. Oh yeah, Darryl was a funster alright.
But his co-workers grew tired of his pranks and the stupid jokes he regaled them with daily. Jokes that were either of a racist, sexist or just plain unfunny nature. Jokes that interrupted the hard work they tried to get on with every day. This year would be different, for sure. Through clever negotiations with their long-suffering boss…a man who was fed up with Darryl’s tomfoolery and his lack of actual accomplishment in his job, Darryl’s days of clowning were over.
Yes, they could not wait for him to get the notice this morning on his computer from the boss about his upcoming transfer. Yes, Darryl would be leaving one way or another. He could have his choice of transfer destinations where his company had branch offices: Nimrod, Minnesota; Monkey Run,Arkansas; Ding Dong,Texas;Boring,Oregon;or the new Canadian branch in Boobey Brook, NB. And as a joke to this serious memo, he was being advised that the company was putting him on the Wittiness Relocation Program. Who’s laughing now, Darryl??? Etymology: mirth (laughter, merriment) & worm (a person who has a nasty or unethical character undeserving of respect or a software program capable of reproducing itself that can spread from one computer to the next over a network)

Cheers, mates…as usual most of my stories are based on real life…haven’t we all known a Darryl or two in our time???Mustang, 2008-04-01: 22:26:00
Very good! Darryl is no doubt a Don Key-ote when it comes to pursuing his kind of humor…..very earthy wormy.OZZIEBOB, 2008-04-01: 22:40:00
Things are getting a bit fishy. Might need to call in Barry Cooter of, maybe, Mirthbusters!
Loonytech: /loon-ee-tek/ For fun, Jason would hack into other people’s hard drives, infect their PCs with trojans and spam their e-mail boxes. No doubt he was good with computers but at the same time a loonytech. Etymology: Loony (a foolish or crazy person) + tech Created by: kashman.
