Today it was raining.
I get to work and I’m in the break room. Two other co-workers are there, one male, one female. The female is saying something about ‘It’s one, Joe is about to get off.’ I promptly reply, ‘do we need raincoats?’ I get nothing in response, other than she says ‘no, we’re inside. Joe’s about to get off’ or something like that. I ask, ‘Is he messy.’ Nothing. A couple of seconds later, the guy is trying so hard not to laugh that he just busts out. I had no idea that he was laughing at what I’d said, and thought he was laughing at what he was reading.
I asked him what was so funny. He kept claiming nothing.
Later, he comes up to me, ‘you know damn well what I was laughing at!’
I’m glad at least half the people present caught on.
If you want to have cities, you’ve got to build roads.
