Bad news?: I'm trying to figure out a delicate way to refer a coworker to snopes.com. 

Good news?: I was invited to join the Coffee Club at work. They told me no when I first started working here. It's a petty thing, but it's a nice thing.

That generally works for me. :) Coffee clubs are fun. Ours is really informal, nobody gets invited but nobody who is willing to pay $5 a month gets turned down.
