Sarcasm is a valid, diverse viewpoint. It should be integral to every workplace diversity program.

I keep telling my management that if they send everyone to "dealing with difficult people" training, I wouldn't have to go.

Definitely makes the workplace more/less tolerable! (depends on which end you are) What makes it better for me is the fact that my foreman is actually more sarcastic than me, but HATES when people are sarcastic to him!

A smartass is better than a dumbass. Tell him that.

Here's an example of a dumbass employee:

WOW!!! That sounds great. Is that X-pipe with stock mufflers? I'm looking into doing the X-pipe on my 4.4 soon but I can't seem to find a good clip with stock exhaust and x-pipe.

To JT///MC (since your inbox is full)

I have a question because I was looking at your post about your X-pipe. And I wanted to do it and everyone was talking about an Intermidiate Lever. Can you enlighten me on what that is if you dont mind? Thanks
