Wherein P Should Give It A Rest


A quiet conversation in R’s office:

R: Hey JB, did you see the falafel truck outside?
JB: No, but maybe we should get falafels for lunch today…

P. walks by, eavesdrops, stops in his tracks.

P (to J): Did somebody say falafels?
J: No, I didn’t say anything about falafels.
P (to me): Did I hear somebody talking about falafels?
Me: No, did it sound like I said anything about falafels? Maybe you want to ask JB about it.
P: … He looks busy. I’ll ask him about the falafels later.

Hours later…

P (returning from the mens room, sniffs the air and approaches me at my desk): Do I smell tuna?
Me
: I DON’T KNOW, P. MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO CHECK IT OUT IN THE KITCHEN. I’M NOT MAKING TUNA RIGHT NOW.
P: O….kay…..

(P walks into kitchen)

P (to D): Hey are you making tuna in here? Do I smell tuna?
