A Sadistic Sense of Humor
The other morning Mike was snoring on the couch. It was still early and he was trying to catch a little nap before the clients started calling around 9am. The thought of the phone ringing and startling him into falling off the couch tickled me to no end.
Which reminds me of the time that Mr. Avitable (I recently found out he hates being called that :evil: ) and I were chatting via IM and we had our webcam windows up. We are workaholics for the most part and it’s not unusual to have those windows open and go off, work, and then come back to the windows. On this particular occasion, Mr. Avitable had fallen asleep in his oh-so-fabulous-and-expensive-kick-ass executive chair (this would be the same one that I am going to bribe Britt’s children to steal and ship out to me). I noticed he was asleep and minimized the window to keep working on whatever I was doing.
A few minutes later I decided to to close the window and when I pulled it up there he was in the chair and then the screen sort of blipped and he was gone. I thought he had fallen out of his chair while he was sleeping. Being the concerned friend that I am, I started to laugh my ass off and nearly fell out of my own chair.
Later I found out that the screen had locked up and then reset itself. He had probably been snoring on the couch for several minutes when I “witnessed” his disappearance.
*sigh* If only he really had fallen out of the chair… that would have been so funny.
Almost as funny as a good nut shot. Notice, I said, almost, because nothing is as funny as a good nut shot.

That was pretty funny - I remember you trying to figure out what the hell had happened after I woke up and came back to my office.

Hey… We’re talking Avi here… What makes you so sure that he didn’t actually fall off his chair, anyway? I mean: A.V.I.!!! He was probably drooling and slid off it..

That reminds me… I have to tell you about his pants faling off yesterday.

He is pretty accident prone, so he probably did fall off.
I like the Mr. Avitable also. It is fitting, since he is so distinguished, honorable…. :whistle: (gagging myself)

Oh God. I hope the chair-falling-out-of isn’t going to replace the spewing-coke-on-the-keyboard thing. Sigh…

Falling out of his chair would have been hysterical. :whistle:

That gave me quite a chuckle. By the way, I have been remiss in my blog posts reading and I appreciate the Nice Blogger award. I am pretty sure that you are the only one that thinks I am nice.
