Bite Your Tongue!

The Bible indicates that our tongues are hard, if not impossible to control with our own strength. I came across the following list which made me laugh out loud. I thought you'd like to laugh, too!

10 Things You’d Love to Say at Work ... But Can’t

Thank God there is a filter in place between my brain and my mouth. If I said everything I thought, I would be in constant trouble.

Watch Your Mouth

Yesterday, while cleaning out my closet, I stumbled across an article I had saved. It is called “Things You’d Love to Say at Work But Can’t.” It had thirty-eight items. Here are the first ten:

  1. I’ll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

  2. I don’t know what your problem is, but I’ll bet its hard to pronounce.

  3. I’ll pencil that in for never. Does never work for you?

  4. I see you’ve set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

  5. It sounds like English, but I can’t understand a word you’re saying.

  6. Ahhh ... I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again.

  7. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.

  8. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don’t give a rip.

  9. I will always cherish the positive initial misconceptions I had about you.

  10. The fact that no one understands you doesn’t mean you are an artist.

What would you like to say at work, if only you could?

That is too good. Thank the Lord that He has given us wisdom to know the difference between what we want to say and what needs to be said.
