That's when I chimed in, giving examples of a search I did for a piano tuner, how I read the news not only on my computer, but on my phone, and how it's an easy way to look up local businesses. Then I said, "I never pick up a newspaper. I do everything on-line. I can't remember the last time I read an actual newspaper."
That's when I remembered I work for a newspaper. "Uh," I stammered. "I mean, a newspaper other than ours, of course." We'll see if I still have a job tomorrow.

Ha ha! That's like me working at a college and telling my boss I hate the students there. Which I did say and it is all true. But I wouldn't have a job without the damn ungrateful whiney brats!
Hope you are still employed!
Oops! I read an article on Yahoo that said in the next decade actual newspapers will become obsolete, because they will all be accessible through the web, cell phones and digital readers like Kindle. They don't dare fire you, because they won't have anyone to lead them into the future! :-)
Okay, this made me laugh.
It's true. I never pick up a newspaper and read what I want online.
Wait...do they even still print actual newspapers!? :-)
Open mouth, insert foot!
