Overheard in my office…

So one of the ladies (IF) who works in another office asked my boss if I was pregnant.

Boss: Yes, she is pregnant with a girl.

IF: What! But I thought she had a husband!

Boss: Ummm, the baby… its a girl…

IF: Oh…

K (handing me a paper with the words COPY emblazoned on the front): Did B give you the original of this?

Me: Well, K, that says COPY on it so its a copy for you.

K: So, must I give this to you still?

A bit of background:

One of the men that works out of our offices has been quite ill, so ill in fact that for a week he was in hospital, shifting between ICU, High Care and Cardiac ICU.

Today we received a message that he was home from hospital but would not be coming into the office for a few days.

W (to the office): AB is well, he is out of hospital and is resting at home for a few days before coming back to work.

K: Oh thats good.  Is he stable?

At this point W told me that she had to bite her tongue (literally) to keep from pointing out to K that if AB wasn’t stable he wouldn’t be at home…

KM comes to me with her cellphone out…

KM: Is this number 078 xxx xxxx or 082 xxx xxxx

The number looks like this: +2782xxxxxxx

Me: Well, the +27 is the SA country code…

KM: So is the actual number 078 xxx xxxx or 082 xxx xxxx?

Me: Take the +27 away and add a 0.

KM: Oh, so what is the +27?

The main topic of conversation around here lately has been teeth… loose teeth, lost teeth, false teeth, teeth implants…

The following conversation took place yesterday…

B: Im going soon to get my implants put in.

P: Oh thats good, and you dont have to worry about cavities and stuff.

B: Oh no I do, they are just like my real teeth!

Last I heard, implants were ceramic and immune to cavities… maybe I’m wrong… care to correct me anyone?
