At least you keep your tibia

Had a meeting yesterday in one of our other buildings. As the time approached, I looked up the building floorplan on our intranet to figure out where the conference room was. But what immediately captured my attention was the location of the kitchen, for it had a huge read heart with a lightning zap going through it.

Broken heart? I mused. This must not be the place to go if you don't want your relationships doomed.

So I hovered my mouse over the heart symbol, and sure enough, a description popped up. This is what it said:



Okay, I've heard of a defibrillator, but what is a defibulator? The first thing that sprang to mind was some sort of gruesome device that removes your fibula. Be grateful that it at least spares you your tibia? Or maybe it's not a device but some sort of cyborg/android dude much like the Terminator. *in heavy accent* "I am the Defibulator. Say good bye to your leg bone. I'll be back!"

Yes. I know I am easily amused :-P Don't tell me that at least half of you didn't find it funny, too, and conjure up your own images of what a "defibulator" could possibly be!

  1. It's the device they hook you up to when they want to know the truth about whether or not you've been stealing office supplies!

    LOL-- 100% de-fibbing guaranteed? Who needs that pesky truth serum, anyway! ;-)

    "I'll be back... with the detibiator!"

  4. My line of thought was in check with Jenna's---I was thinking it would make a great name for a device to use in the office to prove once and for all who has been snatching those little microwavable meals from the employee fridge, LOL!

    OMG, the lunch thieves! I'd all but forgotten about those stories. Yes-- subject each employee to the defibulator and then throttle the ones who keep stealing the lunches! I like it :-)
