Quick Work Thingie

Here's a quick one. Last Friday, I was eating lunch out at our picnic table with a co-worker. She told me this story.

She was in the office of one of our accountants. Someone had brought him a watermelon from their garden. It was a little bit darker green in color, but she still knew what is was. She asked the accountant who brought him the watermelon.

He made the comment that he was glad she properly identified the watermelon. He then told her that earlier in the day Disney had been in his office. She too had seen the bounty from the garden and said, "Is that a green pumpkin?"

(Editor's note: when I was first told this story, I mocked Disney over the idea of there being a green pumpkin, then this weekend, I actually saw a green pumpkin...I guess that is what happens when the pumpkin doesn't get enough sun when it is first growing)

He looked at her, perplexed. He said, "No. What comes out of a faucet?"

Disney answered, "Water."

The accountant sort of motioned his hands to prompt her to connect the dots.

Disney thought for a second and said, "It's a water pumpkin?!"

I kid you not. This is one of the reasons why I recently noted on my facebook page that I now understand why people sometimes take a pee in their co-worker's office.
