Jim's Fields of Observation

A Phone Conversation at work

Preface: My work, Standard Publishing, published a book a few years ago called Free Refill.

Co-worker: Someone ordered Free Refills; why are we charging for them?
Me: (thinking she’s joking) Ha, you’re funny?
Co-worker: Did you call me “honey”?
Me: No, I said you’re funny! (still thinking she was joking) It’s like a mug you buy and the refills are free.
Co-worker: Oh, ok. Thanks. Bye. *click*
Me: I think she was serious.

I walked over to her and showed her a copy of the book. We all had a good laugh!
