Lumpy

I walked over to OoRah's desk last week to ask him something, but he wasn't there.

To the rest of the office, I gestured at OoRah's chair and said, "Has anybody seen Lumpy?"

I honestly don't know where that name came from. It seemed to be a winner, though... M16 nearly fell out of his chair laughing. Everybody giggled uncontrollably for minutes. When OoRah came back to his desk, Maarek casually said, "Hi Lumpy." OoRah didn't *quite* hear him... you could see the "Naw, I must have just misheard" look cross his face. It was most excellent.

A full day later OoRah appeared at my desk. "Lumpy?", he asked.

I grinned. "Hey, that was the best joke I've had in three days. I'm gonna run with it a while."

I am constantly amazed that he lets me live.
