Overheard at Work #6

I love how discussions at meetings always degenerate just as the meeting ends. An example from this morning:

Person 1: We've submitted all of our paperwork [when things reopened at the start of the fiscal year] but it looks like it's at the bottom of the pile, so it'll probably take a couple of months to get processed.

Person 2: What? We weren't at the front of the line to submit it? We didn't camp out like to get Grateful Dead tickets?

Person 3: You know, they're not grateful anymore, people just call them the Dead these days.

Person 2: Well, yeah, that's cuz half of them are dead already.

Branch Chief: O-kay! It's 11 o'clock. If there's nothing else, meeting dismissed!
