Today, I was telling my brother about how my new colleagues and I don't share a sense of humour. He replied, "What, you mean they don't pretend to laugh at your jokes like everybody else?" FML

Look, I don't mean to be the nazi, but I learned the correct use of "there, they're and their" when I was eight. That's probably why he's getting down-voted.
