Did you ever follow one of those "overheard" sites? They're sites where people can submit funny/strange conversations they've overheard Eg at work, on the subway, etc.
Here are some examples:
Coder #1: I just can't work in these pants!
Coder #2, raising hand: Seconded!
Boss #1: No! Motion fails!
Boss #2: Indeed -- pants remain a workplace requirement!

Boss, setting down ancient computing equipment: I don't know what's going to happen when I turn this on. Hopefully it won't catch on fire...
Minion: Then why is it on my desk?
Tyco Road

Overheard by: Hiding behind the bookshelves

Female employee #1: ...so if the sun exploded seven minutes ago, we wouldn't know it yet, because it takes eight minutes for the sun's light to reach us.
Male employee: That's depressing! What would you do in those seven minutes?
Female employee #1: If I were at work? Have sex.
Male employee: Isn't that's a lot of pressure on the guy?
Female employee #1: Please. Guys are usually all, "Gimme two minutes!"
Female employee #2: You could do three guys in that time!
Female employee #1: Three and a half!

Engineer #1: If you flush the toilet, you lose water pressure?! So it's like, "Sorry, the dishwasher is running. We have no fire protection."
Pause.
Engineer #2: Who flushes the toilet if their house is on fire?

Bossman: Ted*, keep in mind: if you screw this up, we will beat you like a pinñata. We'll beat you till the candy comes out.

I remember you and I having a "if the sun blew up 7 mins ago" conversation related to meeting Simon at Stewart Hall :)
I was on the phone at work innocently talking to a client. I don't even want to tell you what the two girls (19 yo's) were talking about when I got off the phone. It was definitely not funny, though.
Thanks for the laughs.
LOL! I love these!
God, I forgot about that site! I definitely need to go there and get my daily dose of hilarious!
Thank you for sharing. They cheered my gray morning.
@Simone - I remember that! lol
@JJJ - Oh these young'uns... though I admit to once having had a conversation about vibrators in the staff room.
@Deborah and Skye - Regular life is often as funny as fiction. ;-)
ROFL ... "Three and a half!" ... Love it!
