The Brown Bags And The Birds And The Bees

(A coworker has finished an informal lunch-time “brown bag” talk on a technology he wants us to adopt. He’s a lively, somewhat loud speaker with a strong Middle Eastern accent. He’s also very friendly with a good sense of humor.)

Speaker: “Ask me anything you want! Anything at all!”

Me: *in a innocent, almost childlike voice* “Where do babies come from?”

(The rest of the room cracks up.)

Speaker: “What?! What?!”

Me: “Well, you said we could ask you anything; so, where do babies come from?”
