I used to work for criminal lawyers ... and such a perfect description as they seemed more criminal than their clients !!
One day my boss was on a real blistering rant wanting to sue everyone !!! and he was going on and on and on ...
Getting tired of his temper/tirade I muttered that he should GO SUE HIMSELF .. which he heard... and fired me again !!
Until he realized what was said and laughed ... after giving me yet another warning !!
and it occurred to me that a lot of jobs lend themselves to naughty imperatives .. not just sit, stay go etc ....
so, for example >>>> tell a hockey player to >>> GO PUCK HIMSELF !!!
or tell a carpenter to GET NAILED !!
or a furniture maker to GET STUFFED !!
wanna play too ????
