My coworker, an IT sort, displayed his new desktop picture proudly.  “I am going to have a new Einstein quote every time you come in here,” he declared.

I read the quote and smiled.

He nodded his head in approval and pulled up the application for us to begin working.

As his desktop picture disappeared I noticed it.  But I’ve been working on being nice so I debated whether or not to point it out.  Of course, I couldn’t resist.

“What exactly is stupidy?”  The floodgates opened and I did not stop.  “Is that a new word in the dictionary?”

“I,” he turned red, “you know how you can read the beginning and end of a word and your brain fills in the rest?  It’s called something, there’s a name for it.  I just can’t think of what it is.”

“Stupidy?” I volunteered.

He didn’t appreciate my humor.  That’s okay, he’s not going to hear the end of it anytime soon.
