A reference librarian on the phone: “Homesexual, heterosexual, or bisexual?”
What… do they have a secret collection I don’t know about there?
“shhhshhh…I think it’s him. So are we on for tonight.”
My wifes married receptionist to another married coworker.
Well, there’s this one some guy on Comedy Central was going on about:

“I don’t know, chlamydia maybe.”
I skipped lunch that day.
Overheard in a restaurant, “She’s got a huge murial on her wall.” After several seconds of hearing about murial, I realised she was confusing murial with mural, whew! :rolleyes:
