workplace antics

I guess a lot of people took the day off today because it's some sort of holiday. (Good Friday or something)  So I got of auto-response emails from people who were out. I really liked this one:

I will be out of the office starting 04/04/2007 and will not return until 04/10/2007.
I will respond to your message if I return.

It inspires me to put up an auto-response at the end of each day.

Later on, there was a group of people talking about exercise.  This one guy was talking about running, biking, swimming, etc.  Then he asked this old guy, "do you do any sort of sports?"  To which he responds, "My specialty is in 12-inch wrist-curls."
It took tremendous effort not to burst out in my trademark 100-decibel laughter.  But I could not help leaking out a small smile while still looking straight at my computer screen.  I imagine I must have looked like Dwight from The Office at that moment. 12-inch my ass!!! Funnier still, I don't think the guy that he said that too got the joke, because he laughed and responded, "yeah how about the nacho chip curl?", while demonstrating how he brings a chip from the plate to his mouth.  I wanted to slap my forehead.  ASS!
