I Feel Bad, But No Harm Was Intended
There's a beer poster in our shop with two chickybabys and some dood. One of the babes looks like she has buc-teeth. So I made the sign look like the lady was saying "Tell me I got purdy buc teef!". And made it look like the dood was saying, intended to be said like Mr.Ed the horse (horses are known to look like they have buc-teeth) Hey Willlllllllberrrrr!

Well, this forklift driver at work whos name happens to be Wilber, and who just so happens to be orally challenged (but his teeth aren't buc at all) read it and now thinks someone was making fun of him.

I feel bad that I made Wilber feel bad. I discussed it with the person I work with and he recommended to not say anything, let it alone and it'll pass. We get along pretty well, and Wilber thinks it was another person anyways, so no harm was done between us.

Last night, someone tore down the poster and it is no longer with us. I can't imagine who?!?!

Just wait 'til Wilber konks the Other Guy on the head, LOL!

I had something like that happen once. It was a nutty day at school and I was walking past this guy I halfway knew. I said "What a crazy damn day!" and crossed my eyes a little.

I forgot that the guy had a problem with his eyes like that --- the dumbass thought I was making fun of him and almost took a swing at me, LOL

If people can't laugh at themselves, they aren't worth worrying about. The poster sounds hilarious to me dood, despite my buc teeth, my middle name being wilbur, and the two hotties consistantly on each arm.

Here in the South, most folks don't seem too concerned about teeth, LOL!
Which reminds me of a joke; The toothbrush must have been invented in the South; had it been invented anywhere else, it would have been called a TEETHbrush.

Apologize to Wilber. It'll come back to you if anyone else knows you did it anyways. Tell him you didn't intend to ridicule him, just the woman on the poster. What if Wilber goes after the other guy he THINKs did it? Just my $.02.

Buddur,,,, you insensitive slut. Subjecting a poor misfortuned man to unparalleled embarassment. The misery you induced has probably caused irreparable harm.

j/k, Buddur, but I do agree with Sass.

Ditto what Sass said. Not only will it clear things up for Wilbur, but it'll clear your head too.

Another vote for what Sass said. Be upfront w/ him. Don't let someone else take the wrap for what you did. That'll only make it worse.

If I were you, I'd make another poster and put it on the other dude's locker. Tell Wilbur they're talking about another round of lay-offs.

And make sure to get a set of those fake buck teeth when you talk to him.

This was obviously an intentional attempt to demean a co-worker.

Good effort!
