A little funny

Sometimes I act weird.

Even at work.

I'm an IT Manager and when called to someones desk for help, I like to stand with chest puffed out and hands on hips like I'm superman or something. Yeah, I know...I'm a geek.

So the other day I was standing in the doorway of a co-worker's office in the aforementioned stance. She says to me, "So where's your cape?"

"Today's laundry day," I reply. "Crystal's washing it for me today."

We get a chuckle and that's the end of the first part of the story.

About a week later my co-workers are standing outside smoking and I decide that I could use some socializing so I go stand outside to chit-chat with them while they fumigate their lungs. I decide to stand in my super-pose again...I don't know why. Remember - I'm a geek. So the previously mentioned co-worker is there and says, "is your cape STILL in the laundry?" and I said, "what, you think I only ever wear it at work?"

We chuckle and then I said "you watch, I'll come to work one day wearing a cape."

She says "will you put a giant I.T. on the cape?"

"On the CAPE??? No! On my chest...like superman!"

Another lady in the group chimes in and says, "it?"

I explain, "I.T. - Information Technology"

"I know," she says "But that's what people will think when they see you. It?"

I get clever. "Well, I COULD title myself Super Human Information Technology."

No laughter. They didn't get it.

I had to explain it.

Then they laughed because it was VERY funny.

Maybe you had to be there.
