I am away from the office and conducting a bit of business by email with my staff. Why...I don't know why, but I just noticed that the first 3 letters of assistant is 'ass"!? Is this merely a coincidence?

You need another cup of coffee.

@longgone Perhaps with less sugar too! ;)

Too much free time, @Cruiser .

Remember that the first letter of BOSS is B and the third is S. Bosses are full of BS.

If you remember, an ass is a beast of burden. An ass is not the stupid animal that has entered the public imagination over the past century or so. An ass can be smarter than a horse. It will stop working when it is tired, whereas a horse will literally work itself death. So next time you want to refer to an assistant as an ass, think about the noble ass!

Asset also starts the same way. Maybe the guy that first came up with the spelling rules was a sexually frustrated ass man?

That’s why the abbreviation is asst.

Ass. is fitting for members of the California State Assembly.

“FU” are the first two letters of “fun.” Coincidence? I think not!

Just a co-inkydink. No relation between “ass” and “assistant.” Next time, take a good book with you to read with your extra cup of coffee.

By the way don’t be embarr assed about this question.

@elbanditoroso sounds reasonable and taking your line of logic…if we take the “o” out of boss and put “li’ in it’s place we have bliss and just how everyone feels about their place of work! This is all starting to make sense!~

@zenvelo A good thing you or I did not ASSume anything about this question!

I think it is not a coincidence that assumption starts with “ass.” I think your observation is assuming a lot. lol
As I always say, ” assumption does not make an ass out of you and me, it only makes an ass out of you. Asinine is also a good ass word. Ass x 9. haha

@Coloma – you must have though ASSiduously to come up with that.

@elbanditoroso LOL Assactly!

Your question is ASSanine. You really shouldn’t have ASSked it!

@Adirondackwannabe Sexually frustrated ass man.

That’s…that’s just…I mean, wow man. Lmao.

There’s also the word assassin…has the word ass TWICE.

So when I was in grade 6, we were doing these word searches, and I found a french swear word in mine. I told the teacher and she goes, you know why? Because your mind is looking for them. I think she was insulting me…damn whore.

@Symbeline LOL she certainly ass-ertained that one huh?

JUST HOW MANY BUTT JOKES ARE WE GONNA MAKE.

@Symbeline Butt why are you objecting?

Oh butt I’m not.

^ Nice rebuttal. lol

That could happen if you peed your pants and were a gingerbread man/women. LOL

What’s fanny about all this isn’t the jokes themselves, but rather that we’re immature enough to do them. :D
