Stuttering botched my joke A co-worker buddy of mine was asked to meet with my boss about something and another co-worker asked “what do you think he did?” (Context we have the most boring mundane office job imaginable so nothing exciting happens here. Ok back to the joke) So I told him “He hacked into the mainframe and stole all the files, he’s gonna ruin us” (you had to be there). Anyway, that’s what I WANTED to say, but it came out “he h-h-ha-hacked int-*block*-o the m-*bloooock* frame.” He then asks “He hacked into the frame?” And I replied “Sure.” Hahahahahahahaha Anyway I’m gonna go crawl into a hole now.
