Your colleagues always passed without incident.
You poisoned them?

I see what you've done here.
You've contrived a rather strained misinterpretation of a perfectly simple pair of sentences such that the colleagues rather than the incidents become the subject of the second phrase. Then you have cleverly managed to read the single word "passed" as the common English idiom "passed away" in order to suggest that the colleagues have died. Which could only possibly - for the comedic purposes of this misinterpretation - have been a result of my having poisoned them. Brilliant stuff.

In all fairness, there's more thought gone into it than 'you're rubbish Shambles and BTW I'm not upset, you are'

I'm exploring the theory that all humour improves if you have to explain it in painful detail.
