Today, I was forced to listen and politely nod with a smile on my face, as my boss droned on and on, explaining that everything in the universe is slowly getting bigger, aside from him, because he's never felt so short before. FML

Sympathize with him! maybe he'll give you a raise for that?

Just, remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving..... Always look on the bright side of life!

well it is sort of true, and theoretically possible. Everything in the Universe is expanding and getting further apart from each other. But, if the planets size increased along with everything else on it at the same rate, would we really notice? A mile (1.6km) would still be a mile to us. If the Big Bang theory is true, then the Universe was smaller than an atom at one point.

Where's the button that says "who gives a ****?"

Tell him that his waist line is getting bigger, I'm sure that would help.

At least your boss didn't assign you to look for a replacemnt for your spot.

I didn't think people could be that dumb.

Well it wouldn't be that hard to smile in this situation.

According to the latest theory of cosmology, he's mostly right, except for the paranoid part that he's not included in the accelerating inflation of the universe. Luckily, all of the measuring sticks are growing at the same rate, so we'll always feel like we're the same size. Advise him to fire everyone of normal height and hire an entire staff of midgets and dwarves. That way, he'll feel like a giant!

Then OP would be fired, too

I think that everything in the universe is growing at a higher speed than me. Still, I'm not short, I'm fun size! Your life sucks for having to listen to an annoying boss droning all day. Sympathy!
