Trying to be funny in the office, is just pointless!

[Chilli]

A guy walked in, had all his hair shaved. I asked if he'd been to London recently (long story) perhaps to meet up with his gang of mates. Then I tried to suggest that he was a nutter, a headcase, a geezer. Then I asked if he's got any Plasma tely's for sale.

Not a single person in the office had the faintest idea of what the hell I was going on about.









Lads? Laaaads?

Coincidentally there are some serious sense of humour fails here today as well.

Roll on the 4 day weekend next week!

He's probably been on 'umrah. Course you would probably look blank if he told you that.

^ I am surprised how may of my clients perform this during Ramadan.

Is that normal?

Ahhhhhhh, you see, I wouldn't cause another bloke did that a while back. Once again, I took the p!ss before feelig a little bit guilty when told it was a religious thing!
however, this new guy just looks ill!

A few days in Saudi does that to you.

Either that or he's just spent a few days in jail. A couple of guys from my office were in for a week and came out with rather fetching haircuts.

The diversity of nationalities in my office means to get a laugh from everyone you need to do some kind of Laurel and Hardy routine.

It's soul destroying eh? You come out with a corker which would be met with everyone in bits back in blighty, and yet here you end up having to explain it....then they just nod and smile and presume you're a retard......

Hmmm.......
