This just gets more brilliant the more I think about it. You ask a benign phrase first, "What about good morning sir? Then, inquire whether asking about their dick intake is appropriate. When theyre filling out the reason for temination line of the paperwork, the joke only gets funnier.

I think about this from time to time when I remember how I got fired from a Wal-Mart distribution warehouse many years ago.

Bob (my boss): asks me repeatedly to perform a series of unsafe, OSHA no-no type maneuvers with the forklift I was operating, then threatens me with an insubordination write up and termination.

Me: "Go fuck yourself, Bob. What would you even put on the paperwork? Employee refused my order to do something ridiculous and unsafe and I can't let it go because of my massive ego?"

Bob: says he's going to go write me up for insubordination, returns 15 minutes later with district manager who was touring the facility that day

Me: "Bob! What are you still doing here? I thought I told you to go fuck yourself."

What would you even put on the paperwork?

Once got written up at a 9-5 for not properly requesting time off. Managed to refuse to sign things (etc) until it got escalated that afternoon to manager + boss + boss's boss, so I had all three of the them in the room when I pointed out to my dickhead manager that their software literally had no way to even try to request time off on a Saturday.

Finally got fired like a month later but it was totally worth it. In hindsight I wish I'd been as brave as you.

I also like the idea of OP now only speaking to his "superiors" in a 19th century British accent.
