..is it just me??
Twenty years of being in an office environment (relaxed down here in the Antipodes) has provided a few examples that have caused blushes for a few, and laughes for many.

This Christmas found us sailing on a square-sailed schooner around the harbour off Hobart. Secret Santa resulted in one of my workmates receiving face paint, and proceeding to corner a number of us and painting Christmas decorations on our well-liquored mugs.

The afternoon was well and truely rounded out when her mother, along for the ride and similarly annointed with paint, turned to me and asked "if mine was starting to get stiff yet?" I managed to restrain myself, and replied that yes indeed my facepaint was starting to dry...

It pales though in comparison to my party-piece. Reviewing a procurement contract for my contracts manager, I was, in my normal way, efficient in picking up spelling mistakes and grammer issues. I sat down on the spare chair at her deak, and commented that in my normal manner I had been anal about spelling.

She smiled and said in a clear voice "that's alright Aln - I like anal..."

Cue silence, much blushing (on both sides) and a story that I will treasure for ever.
