  1. Better Solution: Loaded Firearm by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    A better solution is a loaded firearm: specifically, 38 snub nose (aka Saturday Night Special). My cubicle is actually surrounded by a bunch of noisy Chinese and Indians. I can't say which is worse. The Chinese are really noisy and smelly. The Indians are, at least, noisy in English, but they smell worse than the Chinese.

    Finally, one day, I brought a loaded revolver to the office and told the Chinese babbler to shut up. When he refused, I pulled out the revolver. I told him that if he said anything to anyone, then he'd regret his snitching.

    Since that day, there has been an eerie silence around my cubicle. The bad smell has given way to an odor of lemon scent.

    Oh. I do smell a bit of fish though. Apparently, the Indian chick got turned on by my Dirty Harry routine, and she rubs her clit on my table every day. I let that pass.
