      I have a work acquaintance who does this in the most unfunny way. You could say you injured your Achilles tendon, and he’d reply he has an Achilles elevendon, and it’s made out of steel and never hurts…

          Yes but it wouldn’t be funny if they just said “Heh, elevendon”. It need a delivery sandwich. Maybe there’s a funnier sandwich though.

          I’ve given up in telling them any new information at this point.

          The funny thing is that they’re imagination had dried up and they can’t give to share anything new anymore. We’re older so as the years go by, it’s getting to the point where they start recommending things they already recommended years ago.
