Drunk Elephants On Parade

(I’ve recently injured my ankle and have to wear one of those big, chunky boots for a while. I’m about as stealthy as a drunk elephant, and there’s even jokes about tracking me by the sound of the boot. I go to ask a coworker a question, and she jumps when I get her attention.)

Coworker: “[My Name], you scared me!”

Me: “[Coworker], you can hear me from the next town over.”

Coworker: “You know, that’s fair.”
