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?"

I answered, "Well... you're pretty, but not bad!"

A Tabulated LOL
"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
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
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
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
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"?
