re: answering the phone while on the crapper.
Funny you mention that. Good timing.
I was in the Bathroom the other day and a co-worker answered his cell phone there. I thought it would be goofy so I started tossing rolled up paper towels over the stall door, to which, he affectionately let out a rip-roarin' fart. Ha ha snort snort.
I thought that was good timing also.

I thought this was sort of interesting. Last week an officewide email went out:
" ... If you don't see James in today (name changed to protect the innocent) it is because he retired... "
This struck me as odd, since I didn't know anything about this. Upon further investigation, I learned that he has been planning his retirement for a while. However, he did all the preparations and paperwork through another company office in another city.
How he could do this is another long story about where I work, but he did it. I guess that's how HR departments work sometimes.
So yeah, he didn't tell a single person in our office that he was planning on retiring... not even his supervisor. Then, over the weekend he left a voice mail on his supervisor's phone saying he retired and won't be in on Monday.
