You're Fired!

2004_02_trumpnewsweek.jpg

Who Gothamist yelled "You're fired!" to over the weekend:
- The near-empty pint of ice cream in the freezer
- The hipsters who stole our cab
- Our lactose intolerant publisher who decided to eat copious amounts of cheese, causing him to bail
- Aleksandr Petrovsky

Okay, not really. Gothamist doesn't yell "You're fired"; we just pout and swear. Anyway, Newsweek decides the zeitgeist is in The Donald, and interviews if not the most annoying boss in the world, the most gilt-obsessed boss ever for the cover. The Post, knowing its readers would care, details the article's emphasis on Trump's hair.

Also, TMI warning: Jack Welch mentions watching The Apprentice "in bed" with fiancee Suzy Westlaufer. Ew, we do not want to know about bedroom practices of retired and current CEOs unless it involves a crazy costumes, a salacious lawsuit and trial.

I try very hard to be a likeable customer. i never make a deal of little mix-ups and I tip well, always.

but once, I had a waitress who first brought me the wrong dish, then tried to convince me that I had ordered it, and then, the first strategy having failed, tried to convince me that I might like it instead of what I ordered, finally took away the incorrect dish with a scowl, huff and muttered expletive, and at the end of the meal told me I had to pay for the incorrect meal as well. I finally flipped out, and yelled something like, 'dzzaaah! what? that makes no sense! you're fired!'

she just blinked, and said something obvious about me not being able to fire her.

i wish i had make a trump-face when saying it.

(oh, and ps: has anyone else noticed that DT's toupee is trying to eat his forehead?)

I think yelling "You're fired!" is the new black.

Anyone know where I can get a .wav file of the infamous phrase? I googled for it and haven't had too much success...mostly references to the use of the phrase. Any tips? (DT probably controlls that too!!)

I am not sure if this is hom saying it or not, but I found someone saying it. Hope it helps.
