Make up conspiracy theories about your workplace, see if he buys the ******** when it's front and center in his life.

Oh that's fascinating. Very tempting. Not saying I'll do it, but if I do my guess is that he won't bite for just regular rumors. He seems to have a certain skeptical filter, it's just that it's got some really really big holes. So I think I would need to come at him with a certain volume of information, links to sites that back me up and everything.

I suppose that when somebody's known to exhibit one of the symptoms of a serious disease, it's not uncommon for them to present with all of them.

Which is what I'm actually going to do.
1. My paycheck will be fine. 2. Maybe he'll be the best inbound sales guy ever! I mean, as long as he doesn't offer to let them pay with their secret government SSN account. Almost. The comment about Enemy of the State was actually the day before. It just kinda all came out in a flood. |

Do you have any "missing floors" in your building, like no floor 13, or an extra mechanical floor above the "top floor" that the elevator doesn't go to? If so, use that as the basis for your claim. We had a hidden 6th floor in the physics building at my university, and I always told people that this was where the Secret Government Labs were hidden. I just noticed this week that we have just such an extra 25th floor in my current building, so I may revive that one...especially since it's a government building! Bwahahaha! |
