Today at work

Me: Focusing on transferring the McElroy's application to Peru-Arequipa from 2010 to 2011. Slowly becoming aware that there is a conversation taking place about a marvelous, life-changing, essential office product that I probably should acquire.
Tony: Oh, I was just looking for them. Are there any left?
Bill: I'm not sure if there are any in there, but I keep some in my drawer so that I have a supply. Here, do you want some?
Tony: Oh, yeah, these are great. So, you keep your own stash?
Bill: Well, yeah. 
Tony: That's a good idea.
Me: Wait, what are you guys talking about?
Tony: Smarties.
--Pause--
Me: Ohhhh....
Bill: We're having a manly conversation, Katie. So bug off!

____________

Me: Reading a 2010 application to the Guatemala outreach.
Question: Describe a stressful situation and how you responded.
Applicant: I was a pastor's wife for 26 years and survived.
