A pair of friends with self-perceived, “superior senses of humour to the rest of the dumbasses they know,” today spent a full morning at work sending Onion article links to each other via email.
The two men, both in their late-twenties, regularly chuckled at their office desks, unable to contain both their amusement and proud sense of knowing better than the rest of society’s naïve drones.
“Hahaha brilliant,” said one of the men, copying in a link to yet another lampooning of every day events that only their astutely self-aware minds could fully comprehend the cleverness of.
“GOLD!” said the other, firing back with a decidedly left-wing piece on gay rights, disguised as sports news.
“Lol, hilarious because it’s so dam true. Check this one out…” his friend typed, before also retweeting the link for his 37, mostly spambot Twitter followers.
The back and forth eventually came to an end when each of the men realised they’d reached the ‘5 free articles in 30 days’ limit.
“I’m getting a message saying I need to pay if I want to view any more articles…” said the slightly more earnest of the duo.
“Pay? Fuck that. I’m off for lunch now anyway, you coming?” said the other.
The pair then spent the first 20 minutes of their lunch break together, recounting their favourite lines like true jagoffs.
