yes, it's one of those pesky clone threads. BUT, while we're on the subject, have you ever overheard something you'd like to tell about?

do you ever say fucked up things as someone enters the room where you're talking to some one?

Like....

I'm in my office and Pat is pestering me about something. So Ron walks in and I say, "No, Pat! I will not make out with you!" real loud just as Ron enters. Ron says nothing. there's an awkward silence....

Pat is the definition of the word curmudgeon, so he got all pissed off and stormed out.

luv that - I certainly do it on occasion when the moment strikes me. Haven't felt like it lately though. :(

Or saying (loudly) "Oh, here he comes, look busy!" as the boss walks by.

My all time favorite for when someone enters a room is to say, "Here he is now. Why don't you say it to his face?" and then get up and leave the room.

That's a good way to have fun in an elevator, too.

"So, you heard about Steve and Joanne? No? Well, you know how Steve and Nancy were ... well, you know ... well, last night, Steve was working late and [at this point you get out of the elevator...)'


And one I overheard yesterday, by a woman in a shopping arcade: "I was torn between my handbag and my child..."
