This item is sitting on a desk:
Person A is sitting at the desk and Person B arrives to Person A's desk.
B: Blah, blah, blah, blah (picks up ball)
A: Nodding politely
B: (bouncing ball) Hey, where did you get this?
A: The office supply store.
B: Really? And it came just like this? (Still bouncing)
A: Yes, it's a rubber band ball.
B: Huh. And it came just like this?
A: Yes.
B: (bouncing) This is neat! What's it for?
A: It's a rubber band ball. You know, in case you need a rubber band.
B: (stops bouncing) OH! It's like an actual office supply. Gee, and I'm sitting here bouncing it like it's a toy.
A: Uh, yeah.
There's genius at work here people!
Let me guess – person B is a high-level executive. HAS to be.
Hahahaha, were you in the office too?
smart! hehe.
GREAT!!! Though I must say the first time I saw one of those at someone's desk I was in complete awe… (tee-hee) Some of us are morond for office supplies ๐
ha!
I have one of those rubber band balls. Got it at Home Depot for $2.99. It inspires all sorts of comments. No one has ever gone so far as to bounce it, though. Most of my coworkers already know what a rubber band ball is. ๐
Oh, by the way, congrats on the [tig] nod. ๐ In case you haven't seen it yet, you're listed in the Life section.
Amazing when the obvious things slip by, huh?
Ha! I hadn't. thanks for letting me know. ๐
Oh and, um, a shout out to whomever in the Voxiverse put me on the [tig] page. It really made a crappy day better.
