Things Heard at Work

Today I recorded amusing or noteworthy comments heard in the office. We are, as you may have already deduced, not entirely with it.

Item!

RJA asserted that he could crew a tank by himself. I pointed out that this would require him to be four people, or possibly three if he had a tank with an autoloader. RJA suggested that he certainly could manage to crew such a vehicle by himself, if he was the Holy Trinity.

I'm not sure that the Holy Ghost can drive a tank, being insubstantial. Dawn, our amazing and thoroughly wonderful admin, who happened to be passing through at the time, observed that clearly we were the creative corner of the building.

Item!

RJA further observes that the Holy Trinity, being all aspects of one divine being, would have amazing team synergy.

Item!

The Dutch Nasty speculated (at length) on the subject of reproducing (in a special-effects sense) the appearance of an umbilical cord using nothing but a pot full of spaghetti noodles and one jelly donut.

Item!

RJA tried to remember the details of a fairy tale involving a giant, a stone (which possibly produced blood when squeezed), and a cheese.

Item!

/dev/null, and I'm quoting here:

They're visible in the sense that you can see them if you look.

Item!

Another quote, this time from the Dutch Nasty:

I'd swim with my fishies if I could.


Further speculation on how big you'd want to be, in relation to said fish, under the assumption that you'd have to be shrunk in overall size to fit in the tank.

Item!

From RJA, in a sing song voice, to himself in his cube:

Spaghetti man, where are you Spaghetti man ...
