The Telephone knows!

My friend at office has taken a long leave as he's all set to tie the knot. Just as he was leaving I asked him how could I reach him to convey my regards. "Kyun?" he asked, "phone hai na!"
Still not convinced, I asked, "but won't it be engaged?"

Pencils from Heaven

Seated between two girls who were wearing flowing white dresses that day, my boss was adding some detail to their sketchup model. When he was done, I asked him with reverence, "You must be Lord Indra walking the Earth or you like stationery a lot! I always see you with Apsaras!"

My Joke Dresses to Kill

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!"

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?"

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"?
