Today, my dumbass colleague was too lazy to go buy balloons for a party in recognition of our company's huge merger. Instead, he made condom balloons. Let's just say you don't make blow up condoms for a prestigious company event. A company whose CEO is named Dick. FML

I don't see why this is FYL, considering it wasn't you that did it. Also, that's a real waste of Johnnys

Well if he was dense enough to screw up that badly, he definitely deserves to be fired. Turn him in before he takes you down with him.

Nobody calls the man named Dick "Dick".. It's Richard lol!

#17 in that particular case, they'd call him Dick

Richard Whitman was not named Richard Whitman.

Dick Nixon? Am I grasping the nuances of this correctly? :P

You mean to tell me that all this time that cartoon was actually named Richard Dastardly? My childhood is ruined

My lord, never seen so many thumbed down comments in one FML on the first page. O.o

How do you even get dick from Richard... And since your colleague did it he's the one who is going to take the heat. Yeah it's still embarrassing and a face palm times two but hey at least it's not your ass on the line.

Dick is a very popular nickname for Richard, at least where I'm from I know four or five.

But I don't understand how it's derived

#16, wear a low-cut dress and give him a beer. It's not that hard. . . I mean, difficult.

Oh, jeez I actually learned this back is high school. Something with the Middle Ages? That they had nicknames that rhymed with their names. Richard=Rick=Dick Idk I can't google at the moment, that might be able to explain it better. :)

Well F his life for being so stupid. Pretty sure Don will be mad about this for a long time.

That must have been hard seeing the look on their faces!!!

This situation wasn't really protected enough was it ?

I will never understand why some people named Richard prefer to be called Dick.

Because Dick was a popular abbreviation for Richard long before Dick became a popular name for penis. Also, maybe they're proud of their penis. *I don't name my penis "Johnson", I name it after myself... "Dick".*

If any of them break, then I guess we know where NOT to buy condoms from.

Wouldn't the balloons have been cheaper, on top of everything else? What was he thinking?
