We’ve had some serious-ass bitches lately.
Time for a trivial one. “Please” and “Thank You” are terrific words and not used nearly often enough. But, people who follow up a request with the phrase “Please and Thank You” are in dire need of a good old-fashioned cock punch or it’s nearest female equivalent.
You say “Please” when you are making a request; you say “Thank You” when you receive a response. Combining the two signifies laziness, at best, and a sense of arrogant entitlement at worst.
Please use the words peoples, but please use them properly. —Colonel Ettiquette and Corporal Punishment

please and thank you, is that you my colonal ivan? these are words that you hardly ever hear anymore, except in the christmas season, trying to suck up, i guess.so, please give us some more real juicy bitches, thank you very much, there, that didn’t hurt one fucking little bit.
I’m working on it Lifer. Been in a good mood lately though. Guess the meds have finally kicked in. >; )
FRIDAY<<<<<----- ! Excellent meds on tap for the weekend, Ivan, my king?
it’s friday? i have noticed folks say “no problem” after being thanked…doesn’t really bug me but i try to say “you’re very welcome” don’t worry commander you’ll get better, eric idle did
Nyquil, Vodka and Bleach. DO SVYDANYA! I call it an “Orange Danube”
I’m teaching my 3 year old manners and lately I’ve find myself constantly saying please & thank you together…I truly am genuine about both words and I apologize for saying them together…especially in emails…Now you got me wondering if other people I work with and do business with think I’m an asshole. Thanks Ivan for making me feel insecure. Happy Friday 🙁
>: ( Roooooo. Sorry RC. It’s the kind of thing that mothers do when teaching their kids manners and obedience at the same time, and that’s cool. But I find that when the phrase is delivered by some middle school teacher or South End progress club type, it’s usually done in a smarmy tone of voice with a supercilious smile and the expectation of instant compliance that makes me want to reach out and wring their wattled necks. Of course, I’m hardly the poster child for either mental stability or social skills so it’s definitley something to be judged on a case by case basis. Now turn that frown upside down. >: ) RAWK!
🙂 Thanks Ivan….it’s funny but I just sent an email and had to ask one of my advertisers to make some changes and I wrote “Please & thank you” at the bottom and after I sent it I thought…I hope they don’t think I’m using a snotty tone…. then I read your post 2 minutes later….lol … but It’s Friday and I’m taking my little guy to the Moose heads tonight…it’s not hard to turn my frown around! yay for 3 day weekends!!!
Oh Yeah! Hope his pinkeye is better and keep him away from the Worcestershire sauce or he’ll turn into a zombie on ya. Enjoy the game >; )
yay for those that get them anyhoo.
Thanks for the zombie advice there Ivan. And the drops are still in effect for the old Pinkeye but he’s better (milking the hell out it though).
Sorry zZz. Hope you get to at least enjoy a turkey dinner.
Agreed.
And how about adding “you’re welcome” to the list. Or at least a response of some sort after one says “thank you” to you. Even “have a great day” works for me.
“Please”
“Thank you”
“You’re Welcome”
Its not that difficult.
i’ll be toiling away too zZz, i’m with crazy legs-hope you get some sort of poultry…gobble gobble
Right on. “Cheers” used in lieu of “Thank You” or “Goodbye” is another one that’s gonna drive me right up the clock tower with a scope mounted Remington and a box of hollow point 30.06s
I tell everyone to have a good day…couriers…co workers..clients. But I’m also the chick who says “sugar” in lieu of Shit….yes I’m that person…
no poultry for me.
grilled cheese in tomato basil soup….
and mint chocolate chip protein powder…
just like the settlers.
🙂
I can see if they have a turkey flavored protein powder but I fear how they would capture the flavor of turkey in cheese production waste.
me ma is cooking roast piggy, come by the shop for some leftovers and dog/cat treats
I too will be preparing a roast of Babe. With yams, sweet corn, rotekraut and potato croquettes. If it’s nice we’ll dine on the balcony of the dacha while Corbies fly top cover. Rawk! Do I infer that you’ll be at the coalface on monday Painey?
we are not officially open, but we have some bidness to deal with…the bear is making his famous scalloped taters, croquettes sound yummy. love me the tubers
A punch in the ovaries. Take note, the ovaries not the vagina, lest you hand get stuck.
When I try too hard to please,
the boys, they call me quite a tease.
When I merely try to get some thanks,
the boys prefer to give me spanks.
I tell them it will just be a touch,
but instead I fuck them very much.
devil_girl
Thank you for this bitch
Please cum again
You’re a very naughty devil_girl, go to my room:~)
Indeed. Corporal Punishment decrees that you be taken from this place…and taken round to my place. Giggity
Ivan are you inviting the Piranha Bros round for Thanksgiving?
I’m old school and use Please and Thank You as required, we English overuse it, like cider and fried food!
I am guilty of using Cheers instead of Regards or Sincerely in emails. Do I deserve a spanking too?
notsoNTH – well of course you do my dear!
Just don’t let Annie know or she’ll have an aneurysm.
note, corriander works if you don’t have basil…
just don’t put as much as you would were it actually basil.
a pinch goes a long way
