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.

You: "That sounds a bit odd to me. Have you checked it with Snopes?"
Them: "What?"
You: *enlighten the stupid while smiling beautifully* "Snopes is this wonderful site that [insert basic definition at comprehension level of subject here]."



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.

The coffee is a social acceptance thing here. Anyone can join the $7/month coffee club, but you have to be invited to the $5/month one.

And in this case, it is my coworkers absolute inability to discern urban legend from reality.

Coffee club? I'm so confused. Is it some weird office thing where people pitch in for coffee? o_O.

Yeah. It's lame. It's so very lame. If it were about coffee, then it wouldn't be lame, but because there is an insipid little process to get to the coffee, it becomes lame.
