Tour of 'Nam

Ever organisation has somewhere that is a real shitty posting. The hostile staff dont work, the city is a crack infested unemployment hellhole, and there is a union rep which attempts to eat managers alive.
Your boss will tell you it's charcter building; he means it will make or break you and everyone else he has sent there has gone AWOL or got out on a Section 8.

-Did you here about Dave?
-No, what's wrong? Didnt he get promotion and moved to Dunfermline?
-Yeah, he is off sick with stress
-Poor guy, imagine getting a Tour of 'Nam
-Let's phone him up and shout "Hey Handjob, Charly's in the wire!"

dag nam it

It's a nice way to say 'God Damn it' in the style of a grizzled 19th Century gold prospector.

I’yup, it is a lonely life up in these tharr hills. A man can get the itch to poke juss’ abou’ anything he mayhap across. Sometimes ye jus’ get so lonesome ye feel like strippin’ neckkid and runnin off with some coyots, dag nam it!
