You're fired!

Whatever

It was reported today that Donald Trump is trying to patent the phrase "You're Fired!" So I was wondering: Does that mean that every time we want to fire someone we have to get Mr. Trump to come over or do we have to pay him a royalty every time we use the phrase. I just pictured firing (sorry terminating) an employee using that phrase and the now former ee threatening to tell Mr. Trump unless we take them back.
I really need a vacation!!!!!!

I heard that on the news this morning and think that is so absurd. Reminds me of when Spike Lee sued Spike TV for using his name without his permission - WHAT?!?!!?

I thought his ego was out of control already!

If they grant that patent, I don't want to know what our government will do next! That's ridiculous.

Have you ever wondered why someone with so much money doesn't do something with his hair? You would think he would have an aide or two that would tell him how ridiculous he looks!

And those eyebrows...can anyone say grooming-scissors?

Can anyone say "Andy Rooney"?

About the only phrase Donald Trump should think of patenting is "My 15 minutes are up."

Poor Ol Donald doesn't have enough money already. He needs to patent a phrase along with his water (Trump Ice). Maybe he can patent his hairstyle also.

I can now understand why it took him so long to fire Amarauso (sp). She was just a female version of himself!

Can't we form a class action group and sue him first? For Plagiarism?

Put my name on the list - this one would be interesting to pursue!

Yeah, I heard about that. Is that even possible?

Regardless, The Apprentice is a pretty good show. I always thought a show about workplace politics would be a big hit. Look how interesting this forum can be!

I think there is a show called "The Office" on BBC America. It's British, obviously and they sometimes have a slightly skewed sense of humor ( lived there for six years and I STILL don't get Benny Hill!)I havew heard that it is good though I haven't seen it myself.

Donald Trump is proof positive that all of those expensive hair restoration products DO NOT WORK! If they did, HE would have HAIR!!
