I asked a team member a question, and another team member answered for her. Without missing a beat I asked the second team member how she got her dummy to speak without having her hand up her back side. It did get a little chuckle.

That reminds me of another one...
Long ago when I was single and living alone, I went out for a beer or twelve one Friday or Saturday night, late... About 8 am the phone rang and a middle aged sounding woman asked, "is Katherine there?". I turned to no one and said, "is your name Katherine?" loudly so it could be heard on the phone, then turned back and said, "nope, no Katherine here". Click.

My good friend is a pharmacist, without a lot of tolerance for the stupid and the incompetent.
As he was waiting on a customer, she could see the back of his head from the video camera and monitor that watched over the pharmacy customer service area. She looked at the monitor, laughed, and said "you're going bald!" Without even looking up from his work, he said "I'm surprised you can even see that through those Coke bottle glasses."

After DB Cooper made hijacking airlines kind of popular Folks suspected everyone of being a hijacker. Just the mention if "Hi Jack" to a friend named Jack could cause you trouble. Absolutely not a time to kid or act goofy.
I was working at quitting smoking, fully committed but still a pack of cigarettes just in case of some kind of nicotine fit. In those days airlines had smoking and non smoking areas. The gal putting out tickets asked me "Will you be smoking on this flight?"
I replied "I certainly hope not!" meaning I was fighting an urge to quit smoking. Her face went white, she did not know what I meant. Conversation around us stopped, evidently others wondered. While the cops moved in I held up my pack of smokes and said I am trying to quit! Still one had changed their attitude, I faked a dramatic sobb - sniff and said "It is so hard!" She laughed and so did others, I was very relieved!

I attended a "swearing in" ceremony for about 7 new deputies. Because this was a significant number added, at one time, to our medium size S.O. all the brass were in attendance. After the actual oath administration the sheriff made a small speech welcoming the new hires to our S.O. family.
I raised my hand and the sheriff acknowledged me. I said I'd like to give the new deputies some information it took me years to discover.
I said as the sheriff told them we were "very much like a family. The sheriff is much like a father, chief X and Y, are very much like big brothers, and chief Z...well he's a real mother."
I was kind of known for smart *** remarks so everyone had a good laugh and chief Z just shook his head.
