Stupid ColleaguesGodwin's Lawyer tells us: "I once worked with a lad who believed 'Frankenstein' was based on a true story, and that the book was written by Shirley Bassey." Tell us about your workplace dopes.

The Fax of LifeThis happened in my first job, back in the mists of time when the fax was pretty special and mobile phones were the size of carry-on luggage.
One of the big sales-dudes from Lahndahn had come up for a meeting and after work we all trooped dutifully off to the pub to save him from the hell that is sitting alone in a hotel room, reading a copy of The Day of The Jackal that you found on top of the wardrobe.
It all went on pretty late and by the latter stages there were only about three of us left, when I announced that I'd spent my wad and I'd be off. Sales-dude, ever fearful of TDoTJ, pressed a tenner into my hand and said
"'Ere, I'm lending you this, now get it spent"
Didn't see SD the next day and it was a couple of weeks later, during an unrelated business call, that he playfully reminded me that I still owed him a tenner.
"No problem Steve - I'll fax it down to you at lunchtime".
"Oh. Cheers!" [rings off]
A couple of minutes later my phone rang again.
