A while back, I suggested in a meeting with my management that we ought to create an enormous suppository where we could keep our tribal knowledge.
I then realised what I'd said, and then spent the next 10-15 minutes unsuccessfully attempting to stem the tears of laughter.

As an INTP, I absolutely abhor when one of my explanations gets completely and forever derailed by a malapropism that's not even all that fucking funny. I mean fine, okay, if I say something inadvertently hilarious, fair go. But if I'm dealing with someone with (1) a short attention span and (2) a shit sense of humor besides, it makes me want to flip a table.

Mostly sympathy for my inability to stop laughing
