[Quote] More bizarritude at work ...

One of my colleagues has just said:

When I see Simon stand up, I think of chocolate.

Interpretations accepted, and then I might provide her explanation ...

Are you one of those nice people who volunteers to go to the snack machines every time you get up?

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

She's sublimating her desires?

[vampwillow]

They want to nibble / suck / chew you ?

(yes, I know these are all so obvious, but then so am I ;-)

She needs to think of something nice to distract herself?

There's a Bounty on your head?

Don't be uncomfortable about the attention.
Revel in it.

Strange. I have a Simon in my office and when he stands up I think of chocolate too. Mostly because I never met a bloke who reacts in such an orgasmic way to chocolate. He is clearly a woman really.

When he was stressing about something hideous and work-y, I bought him chocolate from the vending machine, in lieu of hugs or strong alcohol. Neither are acceptable in an open office, when you only met the person 2 weeks before. It seemed to be appreciated.

When Simon stands up, it's time for him to bring you chocolate? or cold pot noodles? or mini party eggs?

[grin] Snack machines? You'd be lucky! This is a charity office, m'dear - the snack machines are the shops across the road!

Although, fundamentally speaking, you've hit the nail on the head - at about 4pm or so, I usually get the munchies, and ask whether anyone else would like some ...

How flattering! Mwah!

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Chew? Ouch!

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

AWOOGA! AWOOGA!

Put the pun down, mister, and step away slowly. It's not worth it!

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

And my response to reverendjim above goes for you too ... [grin]

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Is that a hint? [grin]

Mmm. Nice boots!

[grin] I've been known to provide shoulder massages in the office - but only for people I've worked with for more than six months, who aren't going to take it the wrong way and press me with a harassment suit! Chocolate has also been offered in lieu on occasion ...

An unfortunate looking stain on your trousers that can only be seen when they rise above desk level? :)

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Ewww. I'm not talking to you again.

[checks black jeans] Nope. Phew.

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

A finger of fudge is just enough? ;->

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Ooh, you evil, girl! [grin]

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

Used to have a whole little routine based on chocolate advertising. My comedian ex Chris nicked most of it for his stageshow, and anyway they changed the names of some of the confectionary.

A finger of Fudge is just enough... Twix fits... but Marathon really satisfies!

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Although I heard from someone that the biscuit in a Twix can chafe after a bit ... [grin]

Not advised for those Marianne Faithful moments.

And on a completely different tack, my cousin was once in adverts for Marathon/Snickers in Europe ...
