I had this conversation with a Punju colleague on Friday.
He: I like girls who swear!
Me: Really?
He: Yes!!! Girls who do not swear are so sissy and so so...(he fumbled for a suitable word)
Me (sarcastically): So girly?
He (triumphantly): Yes!!!!!
Me: OMG!!
He (smirking): heh heh
Me (piling on the sarcasm): I guess you would like a lil bit of mustache and a 5 'o' clock stubble on your girl too yeah?
He (thinking deeply): Hmmm...
Me (getting up hastily): err...never mind!
He tried calling me several times but rising nausea prevented me from taking the call. I am dreading Monday. Maybe I will wear a burqah to office to avoid detection.
Note to self: Never end a conversation with a rhetorical question. Some people do not know the meaning of a rhetorical question. Ditto with 'sarcasm.' Sigh!

What a lovely set of colleagues you have - absolute blogging fodder.
Thanks...you're wonderful.
Hehe...wonder whether what u would call the entire episode now...funny, nauseating, watever.....
oh..tht "whether" was no required
Awesome set of people whom you're working with. I simply had loved your old Foxy tales. But this one's too good :)
hmm..interesting..maybe you can give his GF / wife a bottle of Old Spice !
ROFL! =))
ha!! ask him to watch mtv roadies!!! or maybe he already did..:p
LOL.
Do you think there might have been vocab trouble? You probably said 'must-ash' while he might know it as 'moose-tachch' and stubble he's probably never heard off!
I would take a few Punju colleagues in my team any day. They keep the atmosphere cheerful :). A few diffficult moments shouldn't be a huge price to pay. Is there a chance that he overheard u say a swearword within ur circle :). Maybe he liked that.
SingularOne: Thank you! Actually you find them everywhere. You gotta notice! :)
Pratz: I would call it frustarting! :p
Abhi: Thank you! I do work with a bunch of interesting people! :p
Janus: LOL!! That was a good one!
Manoj: :)
damsel in distress: hehe That was some good sarcasm. Perhaps he does watch it! ;)
Karthik: I did pronounce it properly! :p
BrownPhantom: :p There was this program on MTV about women and swearing and it was that discussion which lead to this conversation!

"I am dreading Monday" ??
Guys in your workplace might put in their papers (inspite of the recession et al) once they are aware of this!!

Have you seen the Russell Peters stand up on hairy Indians???
"All the Indian girls in the audience just rolled up their sleeves and said - You bastard!!!"
Lol! This is ROTFL stuff!!
I was reading a book by Michael Moore questioning the intelligence of Americans. After reading all your posts, I was wondering... Why don't you publish something about all these LMAO stuff? :P I'm serious. :d
