Rejected by Cans
Ah, wordplay humor. It’ll never go out of style. Someone at this person’s office left a friendly reminder that folks need to date food cans. You know, so things don’t go past their expiration date. However, they didn’t choose their words carefully enough, and a coworker saw an opportunity to get snarky. They left a humorous reply. “Tried on three occasions to date cans. They only think of me as a friend.”
It’s perfect. Almost brings a tear to our collective eye. We love folks who proffer snappy comebacks and witty retorts. It’s easy to see how the above message can be misconstrued if you don’t know the situation. Or you’re not in a kitchen. Regardless, date cans as in write numbers on them, not take them out for dinner and a movie.
