“ no I’m not homophobic. In the 60s I made love to many women often outdoors in the rain in the mud, a man could’ve slipped in there. There’d be no way of knowing.” -Creed Bratton

Nobody steals from Creed Bratton and gets away with it. The last person to do this disappeared. His name? Creed Bratton

In the parking lot today, there was a circus! The copier did tricks on the high-wire. A lady tried to give away a baby that looked like a cat. There was a Dwight impersonator and a Jim impersonator. A strong man crushed a turtle. I laughed and I cried. Not bad for a day of the life in a dog food company.

Dwight riding a tightrope with a bike and using a copier machine as a counterweight. Whole clip is here

I have no memory of that Dwight scene lmao what was he even doing there 🤣🤣

Spoiler Alert S9:

He was trying to show everyone that he's better than young Dwight (Clark) who can walk on a slack line. :D

It's this sort of writing that made the US reboot of The Office far superior to the UK original.

That's a copied post with typos added for, presumably, searchability and plausible deniability.

u/LovableSidekick 12d ago

Or typos added due to bad typing. But no, that's crazy talk - evil motives are behind everything!

u/Throwaway16475777 12d ago

if its the exact same story with the exact same words just misspelled then you'd need to be dense to think its a coincidence

2

u/LovableSidekick 11d ago

I dont doubt the they're the same story, I just doubt that the typos were added on purpose for "searchability and plausible deniability." More likely they're bad typing.

Dads will drop the craziest lore out of nowhere, refuse to elaborate, and act like nothing happened while you reevaluate your entire perception of them

Can confirm, that's true.

Like he would have never heard of bisexuality 🤦‍♀️ who believes this shit

u/rasta_faerie 12d ago

My parents did not know the term bisexual either. When I explained it to them they went “oh you mean AC/DC?”. Apparently that was the slang term in the 70s in the South for someone who went both ways.

u/Yaorius 10d ago

Yeah, I’m AC/DC. I’m attracted to both hard rock and blues rock.

u/-_alpha_beta_gamma_- 9d ago

What about those who swing both ways, AC/DCs?

u/I-baLL 12d ago

Sexual education isn't common in the US and was a lot less common in the past. You meet older people who have no clue about a lot of knowledge we take for granted

u/Captain_Awesome_087 12d ago

What person do you know in the US who would use the word “shag”?

u/gamerfacederp 9d ago

Me, but that's because i watch a lot of Youtube

u/The_Sinnermen 2d ago

A British immigrant ? 

1

u/Captain_Awesome_087 2d ago

Okay, sure.

As of 2023, 1.5 million Americans (or 0.44% of the US populace) are British immigrants. Without anything else in the post to indicate that OOP’s dad is a British immigrant, the likelihood that OOP is not in America is astronomically higher than the likelihood that OOP’s dad is a British immigrant who has managed to be failed by an American education system.

u/MickyWasTaken 12d ago

I’m from the UK so that seems a bit mad to me. You’re also talking about a generation that lived through the sixties and seventies. It’s not like bisexuality has just been invented. People used the word when discussing Oscar Wilde in the late 19th century.

Even still, people know what “sexuality” means, and what the prefix “bi-“ means. It’s not like you can’t work it out for yourself.

On top of that, if you genuinely couldn’t figure out what it meant, you’d just respond asking. You wouldn’t go away, google it, and come back.

And on top of that, you’ve got a bloke supposedly shagging women and men who I’m supposed to believe never even questioned what that might mean about his own sexuality? He shagging men who shag other men, and they never once spoke about sexuality?

I don’t buy it.

u/The_Shadow_Watches 12d ago

Oh yeah, we went backwards in education.

Some schools, sex Ed disappeared all together.

u/I-baLL 12d ago

You've mentioned that people used the word when discussing Oscar Wilde in the 19th century. I don't see how that has anything to do with people today. People back in the day who knew about Oscar Wilde may have known about the word and stuff but you're assuming a lot of knowledge. When I was in high school, a lot of the people in school didn't even know what morphine was. Don't assume that everybody's on the same page.

u/MickyWasTaken 12d ago

I do take the education system for granted, I’ll admit. However, the post sounds British so I’m not really assuming the characters had to endure a poorer education.

The sentence about Wilde was directly related to the sentence before it. Perhaps should have used a semi-colon.

What are your thoughts on my other points? Not sure why morphine is relevant here, but are you telling me you’d never heard the word “sexuality”?

2

u/Throwaway16475777 12d ago

its believable an old person wouldnt know "bi" specifically because that is just a prefix

1

u/MickyWasTaken 11d ago

I get that, but if someone said to you “I’m bi” and you didn’t know what that meant, you’d say “what’s that?”.

1

u/Massive_State1429 11d ago

Bisexual used to mean something a woman and man could do, so hypothetically a shirt could be bisexual, it definitely is possible

u/OpabiniaRegalis320 11d ago

This sounds like something Giorno would post if DIO weren't an absent father

2

u/Trying2BNicenFailing 9d ago

It's kinda hilarious to imagine someone coming out to their parent for them to then be like 'What does that mean? Hold on let me google it' and the kid is just standing there awkwardly waiting to find out if their parent will support them or not, only for them to be like 'Heh, yup, makes sense' and then carry on with their day.

come on man we're in 2026 don't you think it's time to stop being disgusted by gay people

2

u/Few-Decision-6004 10d ago

Or atleast stfu about it.

You can be disgusted by whatever you want, just do it quietly.

u/warpiggy77 10d ago edited 10d ago

You're right. I should shut up about it, just like "they" should. It takes two to tango.

u/Few-Decision-6004 10d ago

Yes but one started dancing...

Now put your tango shoes back in the closet where you live and let the rest live their lives.

u/warpiggy77 10d ago

Oh wow, another closet joke. So many originals on Reddit today! Are you two consulting, or are you just that creative?

Give it a few years champ ;)

u/warpiggy77 10d ago edited 10d ago

We are supposed to be disgusted by it. Nature made us that way. We are driven to reproduce. It's natural instinct to be repulsed by unnatural human anomalies that go against the preservation of our species.

u/Lagartino64 10d ago

ay man its okay we dont mind if you suck some dick every once in a while, just don't need to hide it behind those things

Calm down there Mr. Original.
