Recent conversations at work

[senoritafish]

• How those "stepometers" from McDonalds work and what you could measure with them.
  "Yes, Pete, I suppose you could use it for that, but where would you put it?"


• The two definitions of prairie-dogging (this occurred shortly after the earthquake the other day).
  PH: (thinking of the first definition) Were you prairie-dogging?
  DP: (thinking of the second definition - eyes very big, and slightly indignant) No, I wasn't! Why are you asking me that?!


• Naked bungie jumping:
  Me: I could not do that! Parts of me would get left at the bottom unless they were secured by clothing.
  PH: Well, there's really not a big jerk at the bottom...
  Me: No, not unless you're standing down there.
  Zing! I don't get to do that very often. XD I think he actually blushed.


• Following some talk about the recent cicada hatching back east, PH left the lunchroom with:
  "Aaah, damn bugs! You know they're part of that terrorist network - Al Cicada!"
  Darn it, now I'm never going to remember the real name.
