the classic comedy catchphrase i used at work today

michael_w [Edit] [Delete] 20:32, 18 March '09

i really am suprised we got to that number of attempts without anyone getting it........it isn't anything old....no obscure american thing that only ran for half an episode........it's a real recent bread and butter catchphrase......

but anyway.....some context first

i'm unpacking the delivery with janis....the lady in charge....and i'm in a foul mood......first day back after four days off....had to wake 1t 6...etc etc...

anyway....we get festive cakes....festive easter cadburys mini egg cakes....but there are two lots....one lot are 'mini egg easter cakes'....the others are 'mini egg nests'....i give them the once over and realise the only thing that seperates the two at all is the fact that the nests have some flimsy chocolate shavings on the outside.........everything else the same......just a different shape and a few flakey choc bits....

so i look at janis and say.....'pff....more or less exactly the same product....what a swizz......(capitalist pigs...etc etc..)'

then janis looks shocked and a bit upset and whimpers.....'well...well no....these have shavings on them....look....yummy shavings...i love these ones much more...'

and then i......i look janis sqaure in the face...i slowly choose my words and take my time with delivery.....

'janis'.....i say,....eye to eye....slow and steady almost spitting each word........

'janis.......

chocolate shavings........................................
