Office Manager Mohammed takes a business trip

by | Mar 21, 2022 | Fiction, Satire, Travel | 142 comments

Assistant Yusef: I really think we should have rented a car, it’s only 450 miles to San Francisco from here.

Office Manager Mohammed: No, we must fly so that I may intimidate the Infidels With my presence.

AY: whatever………

  1 hour later, at the airport TSA check in,

OMM: no this isn’t ricin! It’s castor oil for my lumbago, don’t you even Old Man?!

TSA: I’m sorry Sir, please step this way…

Assistant Yusef passes through and waits patiently for OMMs impending release.

OMM: Can you believe it! I have been constipated for 3 days and they harass me? I shit on the TSA!

AY: Well you’re allowed to fly, let’s go…….

OMM: No, I really shit on the the TSA when they inspected my anus for bombs, ALLAH was pleased, and they released me, although the stench was horrible..

On board flight 221 Ontario to Oakland, 

OMM: Why are you serving alcohol? Are you trying to bring down the plane?

Panic ensues as two navy SEALS take OMM down and the plane returns to ONT

AY: I told you we should have Driven…

    I have been constipated for 3 days and they harass me? I shit on the TSA!

    Mohammed doesn’t have a poop knife?

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      ?

    • Hyperion

      Just remember he eats with his hands, so you probably don’t want to share that bowl of hummus with him.

    • Shpip

      I really shouldn’t have checked to see if the poop knife was a thing.

      You were warned.

      • pistoffnick the refusnik

        Wait…you cut them after?

      • The Bearded Hobbit

        Jebus, five minutes later and I’m still laughing out loud.

      • The Bearded Hobbit

        Mrs. Hobbit says they need to be two-sided like salad tongs.

        We’re both in tears, still.

      • Hyperion

        I keep learning about things that are real here, that should never be real. It’s disturbing.

      • Fourscore

        Plus music some allege to be too cool for an old guy to enjoy and they are sooooo right.

  2. The Gunslinger

    Hey Yusef!
    OMM sounds like an asshole.
    How’s the BK gig goin’?

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      I guess MI can work you 8 hours with no breaks, This may be a deal breaker, everyone else on my shift got a thirty,I got screwed.

      • The Gunslinger

        That doesn’t sound right to me. I’ve always gotten a 30 minute lunch for an 8 hour shift at every job I’ve had. Not usually a paid 30 minute lunch mind you.

      • Hyperion

        I have a 30 minute paid lunch, so it’s 7.5 hours a day for a full 37.5 hour week. But I take 2 hours for lunch, gottta get those cocktails in.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        I’m looking into it, but if it’s true I’m out, I never did that and never will, my back is fucked up enough.

      • Hyperion

        Probably if you are hourly, that would be illegal even in MI. But that’s not to say that they would not get away with it if they could.

      • Hyperion

        Geez, dude, go work for Amazon, they give you one 5 minute break on your 12 hour shift.

      • DrOtto

        And a bottle to piss in.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Here for the kids they would schedule them for 7:20 shifts…only two 10 min breaks

      • The Hyperbole

        MI isn’t working you, BK is and they can demand you work 60 hours straight if they so desire, you of course have the right to tell them to pound sand so it all works out in the end.

      • Ownbestenemy

        You sir are correct

        However, Michigan does not require employers to provide breaks, including lunch breaks, for workers eighteen (18) years old or older.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        This is the correct answer, so they accomodate me or I leave,
        /Mahan Khalsa

      • Hyperion

        I actually liked MI, as a kid, the problem with that phat part of the country is that is where employers go to be the worst employers you will ever work for.

      • The Hyperbole

        Good for Michigan (Don’t tell Sloopy I said that)

      • DrOtto

        The 30 min is a federal thing. And I’ve had to hit a boss over the head with it in the past. I took my 30 over his objections. When my regional supe called, I explained I was taking a lunch after having worked 8 hrs straight. He apologized profusely and said he would remind Larry of what the rules were on mandatory break times. I outlasted Larry at that job.

      • DrOtto

        Looked it up and appears I am wrong. I ot a fed requirement. Either way, I would tell them to pound sand.

      • DrOtto

        Is not…

      • The Hyperbole

        Least libertarian comment ever, well other than Tres pining for labor unions.

      • The Hyperbole

        Scratch that, should be other than Tres bitching about labour unions.

      • MikeS

        Modern American labor unions should be bitched about.

      • The Hyperbole

        It was more that he wanted to make them illegal not that he simply didn’t like the way they were run. It was early, early, zoom times so I may be a bit foggy on the details, I do know Tres was wrong and I was right, so there is that. Also that may have been the night he fell into his TV, so he may not have been on his best game.

      • MikeS

        Ha-ha. Gotcha.

      • DrOtto

        I don’t make the rules, I just arbitrarily enforce them when they are to my advantage…

  3. Hyperion

    I am sad because I think things have just really went downhill for Yusef. He’s went from hunting Space Milf in the Oort Cloud to hanging out with that dude.

  4. Yusef drives a Kia

    OK, so who’s the guy?
    /No googling

    • Hyperion

      The Middle East version of my cousin Darrel in Paintville Kentucky?

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Not really, he is famous though,

      • Hyperion

        I’m just taking a wild guess that he blew up some shit?

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Nope, just loud

      • MikeS

        Is he the one who fell on his ass shooting a rifle in that old GIF?

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        nope, but he was a big meme back int the day,

    • Not Adahn

      Professional offended Muslim protestor.

    • rhywun

      That was a memorable Britcom.

  5. robc

    Hospital sent my nephew home, which is a kind of good news. My sister is pissed, which I get.

    He has PT, OT, and speech therapy ahead of him. He has his first speech session today, got out some words but couldnt put sentences together.

    • Brochettaward

      Any idea as to what led to the attack? Or idea of what sort of charges they are going to stick the guy with?

      I wish him a full recovery.

    • MikeS

      Wow. That seems kind of quick for such a serious injury (I’m not a doctor).

      • robc

        That is why my sister was upset. Seems too quick to me. But he passed evert test they gave him today.

      • db

        Seems quick to me too, given the circumstances, but in my book the only good hospital stay is a short one. Too much potential for infection there.

  6. Brochettaward

    I am not as First as I once was but I first more than I used to be.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      But I am the First here! All Hail Yusef!!!!

      • Brochettaward

        I wouldn’t spit on you if you were on fire. Calling yourself a Firster is an afront to everything that I hold sacred. I’d dare you to throw hands with me, to show you what a real Firster can do, but I don’t beat on the feeble.

      • MikeS

        HAIL YUSEF!!!11!!

    • MikeS

      You were so close to a first tonight. Maybe tomorrow. I’m pulling for you!

  7. Gustave Lytton

    Woo hoo. Old Granddad tonight. Was changing out water heater elements and (unsuccessfully) trying to to pull out the anode yesterday and dismounted the ladder from the second step. No real harm, other than some bruising but was loud enough to get my wife to come out so figured it was best to lay off on the harder refreshment just to be safe. Did smash my watch and broke a mirror that was laying against the wall.

    • Shpip

      Old Granddad 114 is one of my favorite sipping whiskies. Same mash bill as Blanton’s, but not aged as long and (more importantly) not backed down to 80 proof.

      • Gustave Lytton

        I tried that one but didn’t like it as much as the bonded.

      • DrOtto

        Mine too, when I can find it. I go BIB when I can’t.

      • DrOtto

        Meant as a response to Shpip.

  8. Trigger Hippie

    …I once successfully smuggled drugs up my ass after a cursory patdown by the TSA before boarding a flight…

    I also successfully smuggled all my possessions to my new residence via AA on an entirely different flight from my own…this was less than two years after 9/11 via Logan.

    Point being: Shut your trap, OMM. You wanna stir shit? Do so on the sly. 😉

    Also: Even at the height of the War on Terror, the TSA was bullshit.

    *whistling past my own jail-cell*

    • Chafed

      I want to hear the stories. I may hate myself later but I want to hear them.

      • Trigger Hippie

        Lets just say when you work for an airline, befriend a Scotsman, a couple of Micks from Southie and Revere, a plump Spanish woman from the Castile area, and have a still have a valid security badge the day you officially leave the company/fly home you can pull off all sorts of mischief.

        Saved myself nearly a grand in shipping fees.

      • Chafed

        Ka-ching!

  9. Brochettaward

    Where the First bitches at?

    I ponder that question every night as I go to sleep. It is unclear to me if I am able to reproduce while carrying The First That Will Change Everything to term, but the biological clock is ticking.

    Hi, insomniacs.

    I’m feeling sorry for myself because First World Problems. Ok, that just cured me.

    Here is a reprint of Trashy’s charm offensive:

    Hey all, I’m collecting can lids to send to SP.

    1) Take a lid, rusty or not (preferably a canning lid, but whatever you can get), write your glibs handle on it along with a message of appreciation for her immense contributions to this site. NOTE: you may get better results using a fineliner permanent marker.

    2) email me at trashy-glibs [at] disengage [dot] co (and let me know what your glibs handle is) to get the destination address for the lid.

    3) shove the lid in an envelope and get it in the mail by April 1st.

    Once I get all the lids, I’ll assemble them in a way that only a trash monster can, and I’ll send it up to SP to replenish her stock and keep OMWC in check.

    I’ll continue posting this in the links threads this week.

    NOTE: Athena has graciously offered to put messages on lids for those who, for whatever reason, can’t. (athenaofprogtown at the gmail)

    I can only assume Trashy is trying to atone for a deep wrong he did to Santa SP back in the day.

    Be well, everyone. Kiss and hug your beloveds.

    • R C Dean

      I emailed and am waiting for the shipping address.

    • Sean

      Morning. Thanks for pointing out I started posting in a dead thread.

      Gonna be one of those days…

        Good morning.

      • Festus

        You should try that as an older male. Ladies always complain about peeing when they giggle. Try getting up every two hours…

    • Gender Traitor

      Good morning, U, Sean, and (briefly) HE!

      Yesterday was warm and beautiful weather-wise, and our magnolia tree is preparing to bloom. The only trouble is that the local forecast (so far) for the coming weekend is calling for overnight temps below freezing and snow showers for Saturday morning. ? I don’t suppose there’s any chance the tree will get “smart” and hold off for a while, so I hope it at least gets a chance to bloom for a day or two before the blossoms get wrecked by the cold.

      • Gender Traitor

        (In case I don’t get a chance this year, here’s a past pic of the magnificent magnolia at the height of its powers.)

        It was funny. He’s obnoxious and obviously gives Zero fucks.

    • hayeksplosives

      Oh, man. That sucks.

      Not as bad as the Texas/NewMexico accident with the golf team, but it still sucks.

    • l0b0t

      I’m no expert on the campaign hat, but isn’t that strap meant to go the back? It’s a back of the head strap, not a chin strap. Is that Trooper photo some sort of hazing? The strap under the nose looks silly.

    • hayeksplosives

      This pump-your-own-gas thing is so oddball to the rest of us.

      It seems like an arbitrary work of fiction, like “you can’t wear a green scarf on Tuesday without a permit.”

      So very weird, especially to people out west where labor is more scarce and people are required to be more self-reliant

      • Fourscore

        Even in Deep Purple flyover country we are ‘forced’ to DIY. When it’s a -25 I really wouldn’t mind paying someone to pump for me but who am I kidding? I’m not out and about in that kind of weather any .

      • rhywun

        Gotta be a union to pander to behind this. It makes no sense otherwise.

      • Ghostpatzer

        “you can’t wear a green scarf on Tuesday without a permit.”

        Come to Bergen County in the northeast corner of NJ where not only can you not pump your own gas, but cannot purchase anything but food and a few other exempted items on Sundays. Have some derp from a local nanny:

      • l0b0t

        I got about two paragraphs in and already want to keelhaul the author. Blue laws are great because they give us time to rest and reflect? Fuck all the way off with that; they’re nothing but a Baptists’ and bootleggers’ wet dream unleashed upon the commonweal.

      • Ghostpatzer

        “I got about two paragraphs in and already want to keelhaul the author.”

        #metoo. Fortunately I am only 2 Mike’s from neighboring Rockland County NY. Their merchants love our blue laws.

    Good morning Sean, UCS and Hayeksplosives. Definitely going to be one of those days.

    • Gender Traitor

      Good morning, Tulip! One of those good days, I hope?

      I rather like Tuesdays at my office because after being buried by a mountain of mail on Monday, there’s usually just a handful on Tuesday.

    • Hyperion

      Don’t y’all ever sleep?

      • UnCivilServant

        If I could sleep, I’d be less cantankerous.

  12. UnCivilServant

    🙁 I’m convinced HR is intentionally slow-walking my paperwork so that my start date is after April 1st – which screws me out of $3k in delayed performance advances.

    • Gender Traitor

      ?

      And let me guess – you already have all the new work responsibilities. Just not the new pay rate.

    Mornin’ Glibbies! Still working through the stages of grief about the end of gainful employment and then learned yesterday that the actual Socialist party up here has just signed an agreement with the Globalist party. The Commies agreed to back Trudeau at every turn for certain concessions. This means that every non-confidence vote will likely fail. At least 3 more years of the drama teacher. We’re fucked. “Sunny ways!”

    • Festus

      This is the parliamentary system working against itself. We are ruled by a King by divine right once again.

    • Ghostpatzer

      Mornin’, Festy, and all you other reprobates. Turdeau needs a look that goes with his policies. Perhaps he should grow a small moustache, and dress in cool military threads.

    • l0b0t

      To what end? What does the Socialist Party think they are gonna get out of the deal?

      • Festus

        Moar poar. Moar free shit.

      Cheese, please.

    • Festus

      Depends upon which one is giving the milk.

      • robodruid

        LOL, that went bizarre real quickly.

      • Ghostpatzer

        WTF, Festy? This is a family friendly site!

      • Grummun

        Awesome.

  15. Festus

    That guy in the photo should really groom the testicle chin thing he’s got going on there.

  16. l0b0t

    There is a new show on Fox called Welcome To Flatch and it is pretty good. It is, however, a remake of the BBC show, This Country, which is better, grittier, darker, and very much British. Both shows should be given a look. I’ve been alternating episodes and the casting in the US version is funny; all of the actors are too pretty.

    • Festus

      I can’t sit still long enough to watch TV. The internet has ruined my viewing. Books are done, too and I used to always have 4-5 going at the same time. Brave new world.

    • Festus

      Not sure if I want to watch “Welcome To Feltch”.

    • Festus

      Yup, if I ever lost that many of my high level staff, I’d start wondering if the problem was me. No! It’s the staffers that are out of touch!

      • rhywun

        They’re not worthy of her.

      • Fourscore

        A few years back my son was pondering why his romantic interests seem to come and go with some regularity. He said something like, “What’s the common thread?” and grinned.

      • Festus

        Good for his newly acquired self-awareness. It may have taken some time but either you or the hard, rocky road of life has taught him a valuable lesson. Probably both.

  17. Not Adahn

    It’s is a lot more than 450 miles from Ontario to San Fran.

    • Fourscore

      Only a few miles east of LA, too far to walk, maybe

      Not if you fly with East China Airlines.
