My most gullible momentSomeone once told me that gullible wasn't in the dictionary and I went, "yeah yeah ha ha" but when they were gone that didn't stop me checking. What was YOUR most gullible moment? Zero points for buying an icon on b3ta.

Stationary OrderingI'm responsible for ordering all stationery in our office, so every time it comes to make an order, it's my job to go round everyone and ask if they need anything picking up.
We've had the classics, tartan paint, etc etc.
A while ago though, my sales manager(mostly serious man) asks if I can pick up a "Hammefor" (pronounced hammer4).
I end up spending about half an hour pouring through 3 catalogues, and can't find any mention anywhere.
Eventually, I give up and shout across the office (in hindsight, not the best idea) "I'm really stuck, what the hell's a Hammefor?"
His response? "For banging nails in."
Cue 10 people laughing their heads off at me as I try desperately to hide my face behind one of the catalogues.
Cheers
EDIT: Damn

"whats a Pikost?"
"about 50p"
(pie cost, arf, arf)
