Overheard in the Office - 7/22/08

Overheard in the basement computer lab eight of the AG's office clerks have invaded:

Church of Christ Clerk: "How many Church of Christ members does it take to change a light bulb?...Light bulbs aren't mentioned in the New Testament and thus should not be incorporated into contemporary worship services."

Church of Christ Clerk: "How many Southern Baptists does it take to change a light bulb?"
Southern Baptist Clerk: "You have to form a committee first."
Church of Christ Clerk: "...change?...huh?"

Our librarian at the firm is pretty good for quotes while she is on the phone. Today we overheard a good one:

Assistant: *on the phone giggling with excitement* Let me tell you the joke [someone, hopefully a child of less than 5 years] told me on the way to the airport this morning.

What do you call a cat that just crossed the desert? *pause*

Sandy Claws. *inane giggling*


Me: *buries face in palm*

Overheard in the Office - May 19, 2008 - Part 2

Senior attorney: "I had never been to court either before my first time."

Overheard in the Office - May 19, 2008

Attorney (A): So you got your 15 minutes of fame in the paper. You were a pallbearer eh?

Non-attorney (N): Yes, but it's actually today.

A: Oh my, who was it? How did it happen?

N: One of my best friends. Our kids grew up together. He had stomach cancer, and it got him less than two weeks after diagnosis. Not a bad way to go I guess, he died in his sleep.

A: Well, I guess he was no Jimi Hendrix. *chuckle*

N: *uncomfortable courtesy chuckle* N..no, I suppose not.
