‘For fudge’s sake, Eddie, calm down,’ said his supervisor, spreading his hands in a soothing gesture. ‘It’s not my decision. It’s those blinking numbskulls in management who’ve come up with this frolicking plan.’

This is the best one yet.
ReplyDeleteTake the Fantastic Mr Fox route - "You're not gonna cuss with me!"
ReplyDeleteI think my thesaurus just exploded...
ReplyDeleteOne of the gosh-damp funniest things I've read in my frolicking life!
