I work in the manufacturing sector. I am a CMM programmer (like I tell everyone else..Google it). I deal with shop floor personel about 60% of the time, and with managers and engineers the other 40%. I also came from the shop floor, during my 11 years with this company I have gone from a general laborer, to a CNC machine operator, to a CMM programmer. So given my roots in the general labor area, I have what you might call a "crude sense of humor". Not dirty per say, but jude crass. I joke with everyone, little "cut downs" and insults, all in jest of course, I like everyone.
Today, my boss comes waltzing into my office, wearing a tie and dress slacks, even shiny dress shoes! And for my boss, this is a bit "over the top". At my place of employment, almost all managers wear very casual clothing, so to see my boss wearing this type of attire was too much to resist! Me being the smart ass that I am instantly capitalized on an old line for situations like this. ME," Wow John, all dressed up....who died?" ( I laugh at him at this point)
JOHN, "My cousin did, I'm just stopping in to let you know I'll be out of the building today, his funeral is at 10"
At this point I realize that when I opened my mouth and stuck my foot in, that it tasted awful...........
Moral of the story?
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!!!
My shoe tastes awful......................
