_____
Me: I need an effing door today.
Work Friend: An effing door?
M: Yes.
WF: Well I need an effing drink.
M: Well I need twenty effing drinks.
WF: Well my dog is sick, I have a deadline, my husband is out of town and we’re out of toilet paper at home and if I have to stop by the effing grocery store tonight I might kill someone.
M: Well, I have eight loads of laundry to do, the last guy I seriously dated just got engaged (after 4 effing months!), I have at least six hours of homework to do and if the Giants don’t win the effing Superbowl I might kill someone. And I don’t really care that much about the Superbowl, it’s just the principle.
WF: You and me both. I might have to call Eli and explain the importance of this to him.
M: Eli? First name basis?
WF: Obviously.
M: Of course. Hey, I bet Eli has an effing door on his office.
WF: And now we’ve come full circle.
M: I’m glad we had this talk.

Much as I would love an effing door, I would sell my first born for an effing window.

I can’t believe you both went with “kill someone” instead of “effing kill someone”.
That’s because we are effing amateurs.
