Do You Have Your Listening Ears On?
The other day at work, I was sitting in the breakroom chatting with some of my co-workers. (All names have been changed to protect the "innocent".)
Carol: Why do you go to those cheesy dances at the college every week?
Bob: I live alone. I need something to do with my time.
Me: Why don’t you get a hobby? You could teach yourself to knit or something.
Carol: *laughing at image of Bob knitting*
Bob: *looking confused* Why would I want to get a hubby?
Carol: *falls out of chair due to onset of hysterical laughter*
Me: HAH-bee, not HUH-bee!
Bob: Oh! Well, that would take such a long time…
Me: Yeah, you’re right. First you gotta meet the right guy…
Bob: *chokes on lunch*
Carol: *can no longer catch breath and is rapidly turning a bluish hue*
Poor Carol, she will be missed!
First, Bob needs to get a hearing aid. THEN he can pursue a hobby…or a hubby. His choice.
