Work Spouses

A: “You let me go without taking that poster!”

B: “I … didn’t know you needed to take it.”

A [walking disgustedly away from B's office]: “You’re supposed to remember everything for me!”

B: “I … wasn’t aware that we were married.”

A: “My husband can’t remember his own name most of the time.”

A [pauses, then returns to B's office]: “Everyone has two spouses: their real spouse, and their work spouse. Now, around here, the ratios are such that some of the folks are, well … gay. But you’re my work spouse.”


Names omitted to protect the innocent and provide general humor value if the guilty ever end up reading this on the Web.
