Today at work a group was discussing the tragic death of a young woman who died at her wedding in the arms of her new husband as they danced. I thought for a minute and asked "Will he have to give back all the wedding gifts?" It was met with stony silence. Was that not a funny observation?

Later a co-worker was complimenting a fellow employee on his youthful looks. At 53 he looks 30. She said "I will never look like you when I am 53." To which I said "Well...you'll probably have hair on your chin like his." Again, stony silence.

As of today we are sharing our work space with another department and I guess we are all supposed to be on our best behavior. I am using my thyroid as an excuse for my uncontrollable comments. But I am sure Kendall would laugh or at least give me the blue-eyed twinkle + dimples for these lines.
