Following directions and doing what you're told isn't a whole lot of fun.
Most adventures start with the word "Whoops!"
I don't believe her for a second. She can't resist doing exactly what she was told not to do!

Serve as a terrible warning."

Hey! I represent that remark!!
we suffer from diarrhea of the gums - as my high school history teacher used to say
I thought it would be diarrhea of the vocal cords.

Dear Tinkle Girl-
Ordinary office etiquette generally dictates certain rules of behavior. Indeed, it is commonly known that office workers should avoid discussing topics which could make employees uncomfortable or perhaps be considered offensive. Religion and politics are usually the most oft referenced off-limits topics, yet you embrace any discussion concerning religion or politics with a fervor of a true zealot.
Certainly I admire your tenacity in addressing any issues that happen to waft displeasingly over your cubicle wall. No political ideal or religious beliefno matter how small, unstated, or glanced over---gets by your ever- vigilant attention.
Most times I attempt to steer the conversation back to more appropriate topics. Sometimes I am successful, sometimes I am not. Blatant warnings like, I think it is unprofessional to discuss this at work, or, I dont want to talk about it, drop it are often ignored as you barrage our unwilling ears with your half-baked opinions.
For example: yesterdays one-sided discourse about immigration. In case you have forgotten, your cubie-mate is an illegal immigrant, by no fault of her own. You have been her co-worker for 8 years. No matter how right or wrong, I would expect you would understand how the phrase, Open season on the border might not be the best-choice phrasing of your opinions.
Your persistence in steering the conversation to these no-nos is astounding. It reminds me of the small dog from The Long Kiss Goodnight. And thus I ask you to consider,
I submit to you that there is nothing there worth more than an hour's attention. I should think that whatever he is attempting to dislodge is either gone for good, or there to stay.
Oddly enough, I would not find half your opinions quite so offensive if you had information, research, or some sort of education to support them. Neither, My dad says so, nor, thats what I heard lend any validity to your argument. Tinkle Girl, you are 37. You are old enough to form a real opinion on your own.
Read a book, a newspaper, or take a class. You could easily fund said class by reducing your purchases of political bumper stickers and diet shakes. In the spirit of compromise, I am happy to order you a large-print edition of Readers Digest. Then you could be more up-to-date on current events.
Warming up my credit card,

GI Joe is "Knowing is half the battle"
"The more you know" are those silly public service announcements.
In my case, it is, "Self-appointed know it all"
