Overheard in the Elevator

Man: Going home?

Woman: Yes. Today's my granddaughter's birthday and I want to be there for her [half a pause] cake.

And on the same trip down, when we stopped on the 4th floor, one man in a suit turned to three others:

Man in suit: Let's get out here, shall we, gentlemen? And go up instead of down?

Once, a long time ago, in belfer elevators.....

A whole bunch of people get on the elevator, including myself and a friend and a woman with her child. I was drinking a can of coke.

Child sees coke.

Child to mom: MOM, I WANT SOME COKE.

Mom to child: Sweety, we don't drink caffiene, but when we are done here I will get you something to drink if you like.

Me to the mom (while faking spastic tremors and slurring): Why not? Caffiene isn't bad for you. I drink it all the time and I'm fine.

My friend hit the button for the next floor (maybe the fourth) and dragged me off the elevator, made me walk the rest of the way to the comp lab. The mom looked horrified and was backing away from me hugging her kid. Thats one kid that will never drink caffiene.

In the elevator today:
Man: "Thats like $#!77ing yourself in the foot!"
I guess he felt that shooting yourself in the foot wasn't a strong enough expression...
