Thinking Outside the Box

Statements made in the office this week.

"Why are you eating your lunch at 10am?"
"I find sandwiches comforting."

"How are we going to ensure that it doesn't collapse?"
"Magic pixie dust."

"I still think it would be cheaper just to hire sherpas."

"What do you mean by bespoke engineering?"
"We're making it up as we go along."

"If we're worried about wheels getting stuck down the side, why don't we stuff it with wheels to start with; sort of a pre-emptive strike."

"We'll be cutting the groove under a tent. Do we need anything else?"
"A disco ball?"

"None of those will cut through the tile."
"Why don't we get one of those knives of last night TV? They can cut through all sorts of things."

"Have you read the e-mail I sent you?"
"The one you sent 4.26 seconds ago?"
"Yeah."
"Not yet."

"It's going to cost how much?"
"Dude, tell him about the sherpas."

Why yes the project is going well, what made you think otherwise?
