Everytime you hear of a young girl going missing you immediately think of Snyper.
When you watch the x-files you wonder is Run to da hills watching it taking notes.
Everytime you see a cute girl on a poster you wonder has Jigsaw gottten there first.
Looking a monk immediately makes ya think of Pighead.
When you can't think of a simple answer to a question your first thought is "what forum will I find that answer in?".
**** actually does sound like fap fap.

.... you can spend a whole day napping at work and make up for it the next day by just unplugging your net connection, thus doubling your productivity, and nobody notices.

When you realise you left the front door open and all the heat has left the house due to the dampness getting in. Only happening to notice when the power goes off and the screen becomes dimmer (not the lack of heat or the fact most of the food in the freezer is ruined)

When you send a request to the corporate IT helpdesk with the subject "Need help, computer is being gay".

When you start a poll on your corporate sharepoint intranet and one of the options to vote for is Atari Jaguar. I've actually done this one and that option got 7 votes !
