Trying not to get angry at co-worker

[Kerr the Walker]

I've used this one and it seemed to work: "All of your joke making privelages have been revoked. All jokes must be submitted in writing, and if I haven't heard them a million times, you will be granted permission to voice said joke outloud. Until permission is granted, please keep all stupid comments to yourself.".

Said it with a genuine smile on my face. Haven't gotten any static since.

Very nice. I have responded in the past to people by staring at them for a few seconds and then saying, "droll...how very very droll"

Just sent that message to him. Thanks for the idea.

Glad to help. Hope things work out and this guy finally grows up.

I must say, you did much better than I would. Like you, I can handle people giving me static about pretty much anything, but my family is a different matter entirely. I would probably been fired for giving this goon a dose of concrete gourmet for a jab at family.

My bonnet is off to you sir. I'm afraid I would have had to say something but that's me.
It is best to leave it alone, and put as much distance as you can between you and he.
