Conversations at Work: Volume XIV
A few months ago, Coworker #1 entered my office and heard the lovely sound of piano music, specifically a song from Les Miserables, emitting from my computer’s speakers.
Coworker #1: (VERY sarcastically, i.e. in a tone that was clearly making fun of my musical selection) I love this song. It reminds me of high school.
Thinking Fool: (Seizing the moment) The part where the football players had you pinned to the ground so they could sodomize you?
Coworker #1: Umm no, not that part.
Perhaps I should have said "lacrosse" instead of "football." In any event, my musical selections continue to be ridiculed.

next time you should play the Catholic mass music...

I hope the song on your speakers wasn't "Castle on a Cloud."

Ok, I'm so not getting the humor in the reference to the whole sodomy thing. WTF did I miss?

(m) - good idea.
teahouseblossom - Empty Chairs at Empty Tables.
Moi - perhaps it's a "had to be there" story. Lord knows I have plenty of those - just scan the archives and you'll see.
