I just thought of another one that really happened to me.

A few years ago I was working at a company that sold these stainless steel computer kiosks. The Kiosks were stainless steel, about 5 feet tall, and very nicely designed. They ran about $6,000 a piece, might I add.

Due to some strange circumstances, my co-worker and I wound up on the street with one of the machines after the freight elevator had closed for the day. The only option was to wheel it down the street to a smaller, secondary office that the company used for one of the ad guys.

The Ad guy was very nice, but his english was a little weird sometimes. He'd lived in Germany his whole life before moving to the US just a few years prior.

At any rate, we show up in his office with the kiosk. We didn't call first, and had to explain why the kiosk had to stay in his office until we could use the fright elevator the next day. He helped us get it in the room, and then tried to make conversation about the kiosk.

He started talking about how nice it looked and my co-worker and I agreed. Then he started joking about how he was going to take it home, and we laughed. Then he looked at the kiosk for a minute, looked over at the two of us and said;

"Too bad it doesn't have a vagina."

My co-worker and I barely made it back to the elevator without busting out in laughter.
