Boss on Wheels

Urgently wanting to discuss some options with the Boss, my senior sent me to call for him. I spotted him in the next studio, conveyed the message and got set to wait for him to come with me.
Stretching out on the sample ergonomic swivel chair he asked "Uthakar le jaane ko nai bola hai na?"
Noticing the casters, I replied "Uthane ka to pata nai, but I can roll you there on the chair".

Linguistically LOL

(Intro)
My Tam colleague recently bought a Honda bike.
And despite my oblivion to the South Indian Languages, Tamil and Malayalam remain distinct from each other.

(Episode)
JLo: "What man! How can you Tams pick up Mallu so well, but we struggle with Tamil!"
M-vel: "Actually Tams can twist their words into Malayalam. 8-)"
Me: "Suhash can speak Malayalam after buying his Twister?"

Another Jokathon

The earthing pits of my colleague's project were accidentally removed and the plans reached the Electrical Consultant.
He received the drawings with a shock.

I know someone who talks a lot when she's hyper. I think she's hyper-bolic.

While gossiping one of the girls said "At the Architecture meet we were all in saris and Sreeni was checking out the girls. Finally he managed to catch on to a Pink sari!"
I interrupted them asking, "Was there someone inside the sari as well?"

Why were there no layoffs in the Architectural firm during the recession?
Ans: All architects knew the 'layon' command.

"AAAaa!", exclaimed my colleague. "I didn't do anything, the computer hung by itself!"
Me: "You mean suicide?"

Every Call Counts

Seated at the reception, Rose is our telephone link to the world outside office. And because of my jokes, I get the thorns from her-
In a finale to solving all my doubts, my boss summarized that I would have to discuss the issues with the Structural Consultant in detail, and either him or me would have to "make the final call".
I couldn't resist asking, "But the final call would be made by Rose, right"?
