So we had a hottie HR chick visiting from California today. She was trying to log into one of our HR lady's machines to check her email and I had to help her out. My boss walked by and noticed said hottie, so he came in to help out as well. Whilst walking her through setting up her outlook, I said "...and depending on how big your box is, it may take a while to load it."

My boss looked over at me, busted out laughing, and walked out of the office. It took me a second to realise what the hell he was laughing at. Then, being a really white person, my face turned an amusing shade of red nearly matching my beard. The HR chick played it off nicely by pretending to be oblivious, but I spent the rest of the day trying to get the taste of my foot out of my mouth.

Hopefully she has a good sense of humor, but just in case I'm polishing up my resume.

If she was ugly then you would be sued, fired, and raped with a sharp knife. But a hot chick always seems to know how to play it right. Good for you.

The taste of her box would cover that up nicely. Smiley: sly

I had a similar thing happen once when a coworker nonchalantly strolled into the quiet room, where mothers would go to lactate and migraine sufferers would go to shirk responsibilty, and caught me gazing upon the exposed ****** of the young miss from the next cubicle over.

On second thought, this isn't really similar.

One of my female co-workers was getting ready to go home one night and asked me if it would be ok if she left a little early. I said "No, I want you to set up a cot in the back room." She became upset, and in a very agitated tone of voice said "THIS PLACE IS A DEN OF SEXUAL HARRASSMENT!" I was confused at that point, as I had made several lame jokes like that with her in the past. So I asked her what was so bad about what I had said. Apparently, what she heard was: "No, I want you to suck my c**k in the back room."

What surpised me the most about this, is that we have both made comments much worse than the one she thought I said, and neither of us have gotten upset by them...

I still give her a hard time about it.

All this talk is nice, but I'm hungry. Did anyone set out the plate of or-durves?

It's HR's job to be neutral. She won't forget, though. I bet she'll have her eye on that guy, just in case.

Whores divores?


And "box" is possibly the lamest euphamism in existence for a ******.

One is cardboard, dry, rigid, with right angles. The other is soft, wet, and irregular. Come up with something more creative to giggle at!

You forgot Al'Katie.

The analogy appears to be accurate.

I was at Applebees once (not my fault, was there with friends) and one of my friends ordered quesadiilas. The waitress looked at him funny for a second and then said, "OH, you mean kwah-sah-dilly-uz." We just stared at her and he said, "Umm, yes, those please".

When I was in college I worked at a sandwich shop for a while and you wouldn't believe how many people asked for "Jal-ah-peeno" peppers, haha.

I once asked for mayonnaise on my sandwich in a Wisconsin restaurant. After repeating myself 3 times, the waitress said they didn't have any.

5 minutes later, she returned and said "Oh wait, did you mean mayo??? Yeah, we have that."
