The Giraffes Are Taking Over The Elephants’ Turf

(I notice an odd thing by the back door of our building and decide I’ll question it.)

Me: “Does anyone know why there’s a small giraffe statue facing the corner by the back door?”

Coworker: *smirking, clearly she knows* “We’re not talking about that!”

Me: “That’s elephants! We don’t talk about elephants in the room!”

Coworker: “Oh, right.”

(Turns out she was selling the statue to an acquaintance and they’d agreed that the person would show up and [Coworker] would sneak out the back door for the deal. Yes, I made the appropriate joke about it being a backdoor deal.)
