Title: What not to say in the office canteen
Post by: Grumpmeister on January 30, 2008, 04:03:31 PM

There are times I really should learn to think before I speak.

Chef: Why aren't you having the ribs, dont you want some meat?

Me: Well there are some staff members missing today so I'm not sure where the ribs came from.


Dont think the canteen staff like me anymore  whistle:

Guilty again. On the menu today, pea and ham soup. Me reaction after seeing it, look around the kitchen and then ask if Linda Blair had left yet...

I am reminded of the time when I was returning my small shopping trolley to the trolley park. I spotted a comely young wench , trolley less, heading in that direction and I said, "would you like this one love?". Her reply, "No thanks, I want a big one"... a slight pause, our eyes open wide.. a sharp intake of breath and we both burst out laughing! Two happy shoppers sh0ppers at Asda that day  ;D
