A sign I've been into poker too much?
I work with morons.
Last week, while at work, one of the guys that I work with every single day makes a bone-headed mistake that he probably makes about every second day. As we were leaving for break time, I discover his mistake while all the guys in our section are walking by our work area. Off the top of my head, I just blurt out (rather loudly) "Adam, you're such a donk!"
All the guys literally stop walking, stare at me like I just grew a third arm out of my chest, their mouths kind of hanging open. Except one. Thank goodness for the one. He busts out laughing like a fool. I think mostly because he saw their reaction and realized they didn't get it.
So thankfully he quits laughing after a moment and explains. If it hadn't been for him, I'm not sure anything I could've said would have been good enough to overcome their confusion. I'd just be the "wierd old cranky guy." Thankfully now I'm just the "old cranky guy who makes off-handed poker references."
Thought you guys might get a kick out of it, or even have similar experiences.
