I see.
FROM: wurstel.ferdinand@cdc.org
I'm afraid I'm no detective though. Shouldn't you be taking this through proper channels?
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
I am the official channel.
no subject
... Well, then what am I supposed to do with this information? Have they done anything wrong?
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
Call them short, just to rub it in.
no subject
...
FROM: wurstel.ferdinand@cdc.org
So you're pranking someone, Sir?
[Admittedly he's never actually spoken to Dagger before; he's avoided him after all the general death threats. But he definitely did not expect this.]
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
More proving the point, actually.
no subject
I feel like there is context here that I've missed. How does calling someone short prove a point?
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
He said I wouldn't reveal his height, I said I would, he called me a loser. Who's the loser now?
no subject
Ah, it all makes sense now.
[Not really, but he's refraining from actually speaking his mind.]
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
You just don't do that, you know? It's very rude.
no subject
Yes, I would definitely agree. After all, you're only trying to look out for our best interests, correct?
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
Of course. Nobody listens to me as it is, I have to make examples.
no subject
Not even your fellow instructors?
FROM: wurstel.ferdinand@cdc.org
Actually now that I'm thinking about it, you remind me of a character from a book I once read.
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
Continue that line of discussion and you're dead before the day is out.
no subject
FROM: wurstel.ferdinand@cdc.org
Ah... which one? Or is it both, Sir?
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
I'm on to you, Peanut Sauce.
no subject
Peanut Sauce?
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
Soggy Vegetable.
no subject
With... all due respect. A peanut is not the same as a vegetable.
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
I was cursing you in a different language, it's translating badly.
no subject
Oh.
FROM: wurstel.ferdinand@cdc.org
Understood.
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
Human languages are so limiting.
no subject
In a way they are very crude. Most insults involve some form of genitalia or bodily function.
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
Which is likely twice as weird for non-humans, because there's way more offensive things that don't involve genitals.
no subject
Ah, like how pointing is considered rude in some cultures? What qualifies as offensive to you, if you don't mind my curiosity?
