Having finally come out after a day long meeting, my Bong friend looked at the office folk for the first time and observed "Why has everyone come to office wearing checks!?"
Straightening my own gray checked shirt I replied "That's coz today's pay day - I just got my cheque."

Rodent Issues
I arrived at office one morning to find my colleague seated at another desk with a frown on his face. On asking he pouted, "A rat has gone and died somewhere near my desk da! I can't stand the smell!"
"Did you ask the Comp Admin for a new mouse?"

PJs vs Pick-up lines
Having to come to office on a weekend, JLo was working on a software that I was once addicted to. After asking me her next doubt, she sheepishly added. "I must be pretty bad at this, right?"
I answered, "Well... you're pretty, but not bad!"
I answered, "Well... you're pretty, but not bad!"

A Tabulated LOL
I learnt that the desk missing from the Studio was actually being used by my boss who was working outdoors in the cool morning air. When he finally walked in, I asked him if his laptop was working fine, and he replied in the affirmative. Next I asked: "And MS Office?"
"Yes." (Taking my concern seriously)
"Especially MS Excel? Is that working too?"
"Haan re!!"
"Then why did you take the table outside?"
"Yes." (Taking my concern seriously)

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"?

Bollywood Autodesk Suite
If someone were to play the new song from Aarakshan while you were working on AutoCAD, would you not think that the vocalist moaning out "...Zara Point pe Aao na" was desperately trying to snap her cursor to a point?
When I tried to convince my friend about the deeper meaning of the song, annoyed, she asked "Tum itne achhe gaane ka band kyun baja rahe ho?"
"Well, gaane mein mujhe music kam laga, isiliye extra band bajana pada".

The Jokathon to a GPL
Returning from a project site, I told my boss I was feeling hungry. "You can eat the apple", he offered.
Innocently I asked: "How? It's half bitten and made of aluminium."
***
How is Autodesk Revit similar to facebook?
Ans. You can tag everything!
***
"You seem busy!" Gangu remarked at JLo who was battling housing layouts for a new residential complex.
I replied: "She's having a row with her houses"
***
Diva wearing a blue striped shirt was catching up with JLo who was sorting out 120 blue prints!
I remarked: "Gosh! Are you wearing a blue print too?" Before she could get annoyed, pacifying her, I added, "Don't worry - your line weights are more than her's".
***
Having explained how the glazing would be at the toilets, my boss asked me, "So, is it clear?"
"No, it's frosted."
***
And that, dear readers, was the final act! :P
