If anyone believes that "Yes, OK" is the most spoken English language phrase, then you're wrong. It's "Let's just wait a few more minutes for others to join". #ffs #wfh

Things to do on @Groupon was full of escape rooms a year ago. Now it’s all axe throwing parlors. What we really need are escape rooms with axe throwing. People need to be motivated to escape quickly.

Ok this is too hilarious not to share. @NetApp told the #RedSox to make sure to have a capital “N” and a capital “A” when you write “NetApp” on the suite...
