I was enjoying a little bit of the Halloween Candy that the people at work always bring in after the 31st to share, so they won’t be tempted by it at home….
The phone rings at my desk and I answer it with my normal professional voice. It turns out to be one of the tech guys from one of our customers needing information from our database….after a couple of minutes of conversation, he asks me “what are you eating?” (I guess I wasn’t too good at keeping the candy in the cheek of my mouth)…without giving it much thought I answer honestly “I’m sucking on a Jolly Rancher”….pause….and he responds in his most serious voice….”Well if he’s in your mouth, I’d guess he is pretty jolly at the moment”…. Pause (I am too embarrassed to speak at this moment)
