Laughter at work

These are some of the real incidents I faced here with my team.

Me & one of my colleagues were talking about movies

Me:               So Khowlie, Did you watch the 'Dark Knight'?

Khowlie:    No, its too fictitious for my tastes. 

Me:               Hmm...

Khowlie:    You know I like an element of truth in my movies.

Me:               That's great. So which movie did you watch last that 

                       you really liked?

Now I was expecting him to say something like 'Into the wild', 'Bucket list', 'We own the night', 'American Gangster' or something on lines.

Khowlie:    Oh, you see I don't watch lot of movies, But the last one 

                       which I really liked was 'Bruce Almighty'

This one happened during Christmas party

Me:          People owning a Lamborghini Diablo shouldn't live 

                  in London!

Lisa:        Do you have kids?

I was thinking to myself 'How does my having kids affect her having a Lamboghini?'

Me:          No Lisa, I am not married.

Lisa:        Grow up boy, whoever told you that you have to be 

                  married to have kids?  

This happened when I was trying to teach Graham how to write performance oriented Rex'es

Me:             Now Graham, You see the MIPS on the machine 

                     is constant. 

Graham:   Yes, I understand that.

Me:             So the time taken for your script to run will be 

                     decided by the cyclomatic complexity.

Graham:   I think I understand that.

I gave him insights to how the loosely coupled & tightly coupled multi processor machines work. At this time, Craig who is the technical architect of the system & is one of the really fundu person pitched in...

Craig:        Where did you learn all that stuff? I didn't knew 

                     half of that!

Me:             In college. 

Craig:         You are a freaking example of perfect Indian.

Me:             And what is that supposed to mean?

Craig:         You know everything about computers!
