Rumor Wrecker Prints

'Oh, Charley, if you hear a report that I'm going to be married to that girl in black, you can contradict it. There's nothing in it.'

Every morning the office gossip was cascaded down...

Rumors, lies and innuendo.

"Some idiot spread the rumour that the boss had called in sick! Now look what's happened to the tobacco and coffee stocks!"

'Today on wall street, a rumor led to a rumor which raised fears of insider rumor-mongering.'

'She's the worst gossip I've ever come across.'

'I heard it through the grapevine.'

"Facts are good, but we need all the rumors, gossip, and speculation to fully understand the situation."

"Quick - make something up, I've got a space to fill."

"The sheep all have rabies. Pass it on."

"Boss, there's a rumor going around that someone lost a $1,000 bill in the cafe. There are like 200 people out there." "Interesting. And I assume they're all looking for the $1,000 bill. I assume they don't want anyone else to know about it before they find it." "I assume each of them is buying our food and drink so the others won't suspect they're here with ulterior motives." "I wonder who could have possibly spread such a rumor in the first place?" "Very bad man."

'Pss-st, Harley-Davidson is up one-and-a-quarter...pass it on.'

'That was one of my all-time great rumors.'

"The Cheshire Cat has dentures. Pass it on."

'Rumors...'

"I can't approve of your office gossiping, Frank...and after you tell me the latest I want it to stop!"

"Damned lies."

I overheard management saying they were kicking you but I didn't hear if it was upstairs or out.

"My ears are burning - Somebody must be blogging about me."

'I hear there are some mighty big deer in these woods.'

"Who'd like to go first?"

'What's this rumor I hear, that they're putting saltpeter in Meals-On-Wheels!'

'Is it true what they say'

"The market reacted today on rumors that the rumors were only rumors..."

'I learned some interesting things in school today. I read the graffiti on my desk.'

"I prefer to think of myself as an opinion former."

'Now they're saying our financing is being pulled. I'd love to know how these crazy rumors get started.'
