    When people joke with me about being a shooter an how I might shoot them if they make me mad I am not allowed to imminently correct them on time, place, distance, windage and caliber and number of shots needed.

    Even when they admit it does make more sense my way.

    I am not to introduce myself to new associates as the Quarter Quell victor.
    Nor am I to refer to new associates as Tributes.

    Black Friday is not "purge night'.

    The human centipede is not the store's mascot.

    If I can't get to them when I see them, not allowed to write "Let Me Out!" on cases of product that haven't even seen the floor...or emphasize by making clawmarks on the cases with my boxcutter. Even though it seems to get the point across.

    I am not allowed to cut eyeholes into a cardboard box that product comes in. I am especially not allowed to turn it into a sad animal face and put it over the heads of particularly stupid employees. It is not the 'box of shame' and it is not a part of the stupid employee's mandatory uniform.

    I am not allowed to use the little handheld label maker to label our crappy falling apart brooms after the broomsticks in Harry Potter.... Even if it does cause a small boost in morale from the people who actually notice and get the reference.

    When working in the crafts department, I'm not allowed to cover my face with glitter, pour another bottle of glitter on the floor with a crumpled black dress shirt and jeans and then tell customers, "That's where we get it from. It was either me or him."

    I am not allowed to steal the dummy from one of the camps and use it as an example of what happens when you don't follow instructions. (Said dummy was dressed up as a knight with arrows sticking out of him)

    - Crossing over business with pleasure, I am not allowed to steal the dummy from WORK and dress it up as an example of what happens when you don't follow instructions. (We have a dummy in our clinical room that is creepy as hell)
    Ah,but are you allowed to take the knight with arrows to work and leave him in the clinical room?

    - Our "monks" are not allowed to give the blessing "exubarae mammarae" to members of the public.
    Apparently,despite my role as relic-seller,I may not attempt to sell a pair of Danish
    as 'the mummified breasts of the Virgin Mary'*

    especially since one of our teenage members is called Mary and may be rather alarmed to hear me announcing to all and sundry how impressive Mary's breasts are

    I am not allowed to refer to an event that we're organising this year as "Fuck-a-pa-looza."

    (The reason for us organising said event was because of a clash with an event we usually get invited to, so we decided to hold our own instead.)
    So stealing that..

    From my archery club shoots and events:

    - I am not allowed to refer to one of the club members puppies as "dinner."
    - Nor is he the special ingredient in whatever we're cooking. (Said puppy is a dachshund)
    - I am not allowed to ask the guys to compare liripipes.
    - Except when they're comparing it against one of our cross-dressing female members (She wears male garb for events - her liripipe is almost as long as she is and we've discovered it's long enough to stick a longbow inside it)
    - One of our members is not Grover from Sesame Street.
    - I am not allowed to try and emasculate (see liripipe comment above) our club president.
    - The garb of shame is not a torture device.
    - I am not allowed to refer to the kitchen captain as "kitchen wench."
    - I am not allowed to steal the dummy from one of the camps and use it as an example of what happens when you don't follow instructions. (Said dummy was dressed up as a knight with arrows sticking out of him)
    - Crossing over business with pleasure, I am not allowed to steal the dummy from WORK and dress it up as an example of what happens when you don't follow instructions. (We have a dummy in our clinical room that is creepy as hell)
    - Our "monks" are not allowed to give the blessing "exubarae mammarae" to members of the public.
    - The falchion is not a 14th-century Veg-o-matic and I am not allowed to describe it as "it slices, it dices, it juliennes your enemies."
    - ESPECIALLY if someone is vegetarian.
    - Asking the guys to compare bollock daggers is inappropriate...except when in public.
    - I am not allowed to proudly walk around announcing I now have a dick pin.

    I am not allowed to come to work dressed in a reindeer onesie even though management said we could dress in whatever so long as it was Christmas themed.
