Project Power Puns

Which is why I mixed my drink with a spoon instead.

Me: "Word"

My coworker and I were talking:

Me: "You will definitely get your project done."

Him: "Word."

Me: some lame-ass comment acting like I'm still 12

Him: "No, I was meaning the Microsoft kind."

Me: "You really 'Excel'-led at that joke. It was on 'powerPoint'!" (Emphasis on point, not power).

He groaned, and went back to work

One summer my dad who was a jack of all trades construction worker type, my cousin that's an electrician and my dad's uncle who had Parkinson's disease were all working on an electrical project at my Uncles house. Replacing a power meter is pretty dangerous if the power is not shut off and if you touch the wrong thing, it could very easily kill you.

So here these three men are. My electrician cousin says "Okay, don't friggin touch me. I gotta slide this washer on here and if I touch the sides, I'll fry." So as he's doing this, he's shaking because he's nervous. Eventually he stops to take a breather and my uncle says "Give me that thing." To which my dad responds "Are you crazy? This is not a job for Parkinson's"

My uncle gets kinda bummed and says something about not being able to do anything anymore and my dad tries to cheer him up by saying "Oh come on, there are plenty jobs you can have, Rick".

My uncle says "Yea, like what?"

My dad responds "I dunno... Sifting."

My uncle laughed harder than I had seen him laugh in a long time.
