   Is the following phrase a suitable normie-ish aphorism? Doing a bit where I’m always doing the cheesy office stuff like “uh oh….here comes trouble” and “hey everyone, just one more day til hump day!” and I’m trying to get increasingly offbeat as time goes on.

   “Everybody wants to be the garfield of the group, but someone’s got t’ be the Nermal“

   (it’s not supposed to be funny to anyone under 60, deliberately playing into what the old people love saying and hearing because they eat this stuff up

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I think it works, especially in an office setting. Guys in my job make jokes about each other being fags.

     @NotImportant We have a harsh split, you’re either in your 60’s or under 35. That’s it. The olds LOVE corny boomerisms, everyone else rolls their eyes.

     I keep telling the punks I’m breaking rank and joining the old timers since they have all the cool stuff

     @WashedOutGundamPilot Funny enough, the split is the same in my job, except we're actually being trained to replace them and the managers are actually on the younger side.

     @NotImportant Oh, ours will go down in a flaming heap once the old man dies. It’s his name on the planes, the second he’s gone we’d have to re-brand and it would all fall apart.

     We’ve tried to snap him out of it, but he refuses to change anything “after 40 years in this business I’m not changing for anyone!”

     It’s just a stopgap job, a waystation on the way to bigger and better things, and I actually have a pretty good home/work balance for a change which is fun

     @NotImportant Nah, it’s dying and all the spin off companies I see forming don’t really interest me. We do have the talent, and there could be some really cool things that come from the stuff we have under the roof, I’d just rather not have anything to do with running a biz ever again.

     I just wanna walk out to a jet, fly, and walk away to cash a paycheck
