Say Something



I was sitting in a meeting most of the morning with a customer and a co-worker. After the customer left another co-worker walked into my office. You know the one, it's the co-worker who points out every little pimple and imperfection on your face in front of everybody.


Upfront Co-worker: What's that on your face?


Me: What? Where?


Upfront Co-Worker: You have black grease or something all over your forehead.


Confused I looked over at the co-worker who had been in the meeting with me.


Meeting Co-Worker: Yeah, I've been looking at it all morning. I thought you knew it was there.


Seriously, WTF?! I went and looked in the mirror and sure enough about half my forehead had something black smeared across it. Half! And I have pretty big damn forehead.


"thought I knew it was there" Really?! Did you think I was getting an early jump on preparations for some covert ninja mission? Grrrr!

Well, why else would you smear grease on your face at work?

LOLOLOL! that's hilarious!

That reminds me of a story my dad told me of when I was little. I actually remember doing it too.

He was on the way to work - he tooka bus to work in those days.

Actually this is too funny I might blog it ...

Crap! Now he suspects and won't trust your mild-mannered alter-ego anymore!! Quick, you gotta get some new IDs, ditch that fake family, and split town before your true Ninja identity is revealed and your cover is totally blown!!!!!!!!!!

Why are you still sitting there??????
