What not to say in the office canteen
« 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:

I know, if someone feeds you the perfect line how can you not respond?

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
