Humor - I don't get it !
Some co-workers recently replaced a motivational poster in our help desk phone room with this demotivational poster from www.despair.com
Shortly there after some printed editorial comments appeared below. One attributed to the manager of the Information Center said "If you believe this you shouldn't be working here" another added
"If I believe this, I....
will be flipping burgers at Micky D's
will be singin on the street for money
living off my parents
I can't fathom that someone, anyone doesn't know that humor and sarcasm are such effective teachers.
On another note on my way to work this morning I hear an advertisement for a local restaurant that offered "come eat where the food is hot and the wine is cold". Now I'm not a sommelier but isn't wine (other then Sangria's and Spumati's) supposed to be just below room temp? So off to the net I went and discovered this handy chart.
Temp F Notes
100° - Warm Bath
66° - Vintage Port
64° - Bordeaux, Shiraz
63° - Red Burgundy, Cabernet
61° - Rioja, Pinot Noir
59° - Chianti, Zinfandel
57° - Tawny/NV Port, Madeira
55° - Ideal storage for all wines
54° - Beaujolais, rose
52° - Viognier, Sauternes
48° - Chardonnay
47° - Riesling
45° - Champagne
43° - Ice Wines
41° - Asti Spumanti
35° is the average fridge temperature and notably a Merlot is not on the list so I'm still in the dark as it is my wine of choice. I also admit that I have never had a glass of Warm Bath wine. Probably the temperature is only important for the first bottle or so anyway.
